FILMS ABOUT KY WOMEN

“In 2013, I received a call from The Kentucky Commission on Women with a message to help them produce a film on Kentucky women. Together, we raised $200,000. Within two years, we told the stories of over fifty women in an exciting and impactful way. Additionally, funds were used to build a website and create a study guide for teachers in Kentucky schools. DVDs were provided at no charge to libraries and schools.” – Michael Breeding, Executive Producer

“Dreamers & Doers: Voices of Kentucky Women” (2014/2015) Narrated by the brilliant Carrington MacDuffie. As seen on the PBS affiliate KET. Individual clips from this film are below.

“Michael Breeding is a superbly talented producer who became completely saturated with our mission and the spirit of what we were trying to do in telling these wonderful stories about women. He invested much more than time. He invested heart. Breeding will not flirt with mediocrity! ” – ELEANOR JORDAN, KENTUCKY COMMISSION ON WOMEN

“I want to give Michael Breeding my highest and sincere recommendation.” – U. S. SENATOR WENDELL HAMPTON FORD (1992)

Michael Breeding helped me create a perfect tribute to my Mom, Lillian Press, and I could not be happier with the result . His vast experience, his creativity and raw talent resulted in a tribute that I know my Mom would have been so proud of. We have watched it often over the last couple of years since her memorial, and it helps us remember her and celebrate her each time we see it. We are so glad we have it. Moreover, the process of working with Michael was so smooth, and stressless, and fun, and he always listened and was willing to go any direction we wanted, while at the same time giving us very precise direction when we asked for it. He is a collaborator, and, in my opinion, is quite brilliant at what he does. – LOWELL PRESS

“Our deepest appreciation to you Michael for bringing to life – “The Keeneland Legacy” – a masterpiece, setting a standard of excellence which will stand the test of time.” – JAMES E. BASSETT III, CHAIRMAN, KEENELAND

“Igniting the Flame of CURIOSITY was/is indeed a tour de force!!! I can see why you felt good about it. You certainly should!!! Large as the screen was at the Grand Theatre, the video and message were infinitely larger, drawing the viewer almost physically into a fascinating and novel world of interactive learning. The film was greater even than its parts, Michael, a work of true artistry!!!” – O. LEONARD PRESS, FOUNDER, KET

“Michael, congratulations on a job well done! I just wanted to say a big thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your dedication and hard work on your masterpiece about our man Cassius.
