Iowa U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association's Executive Director Dave Darby holds up his latest historical acquisition. Highway 6 is his passion, he says.
Filming on the new documentary River to River: Iowa's Forgotten Highway 6 by Emmy-nominated filmmakers Kelly & Tammy Rundle of Fourth Wall Films is ready to wrap.
Recent production work was completed: at Dexter, Iowa--where Bonnie & Clyde's famous 1933 shoot-out at historic Dexfield Park took place; at the University of Iowa's Women's Archives in Iowa City-- where "Nancy Drew" author Midred Wirt Benson's collection is housed; and a recap interview filmed with Dave Darby, Executive Director of the Iowa U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association.
"There are several more towns along Iowa's Route 6 in which we will be filming," said producer Tammy Rundle. "It has been a long and remarkable journey for us. We have met so many incredible people; driven the open road with beautiful classic cars and taken in the most breathtaking landscapes imaginable; visited fascinating museums, parks, historic sites, fun shops and quaint motels; taken in a movie at a drive-in; eaten at some of the best diners, supper clubs and restaurants on the map; and we look forward to sharing the film in theaters and venues all along Highway 6 next year!"
