Steel Sculptress
The project kicked off with Anthony Stengel and the Wyoming PBS team identifying Betsy Bower's unique story as a perfect fit for "Our Wyoming." Detailed planning sessions aimed to capture the essence of Betsy's artistry and her role in the community. The pre-production phase focused on structuring a narrative that would showcase Betsy's commitment to growth, development, and education through steel working.

Filming took Anthony Stengel and his team to various locations significant to Betsy's story, including her studio and teaching venues. The production phase was meticulously organized to highlight the processes behind Betsy's work and her interactions with students and community members. Stengel's direction ensured that the essence of Betsy's passion and her impact on the community were captured authentically, bringing her story to life through compelling visuals and interviews.

In post-production, Stengel Media carefully crafted the final piece, selecting footage that best represented Betsy's narrative and the documentary's themes. Editing, sound design, and color grading were tailored to enhance the storytelling, ensuring that the final product would engage and inspire Wyoming PBS viewers. The focus was on creating a documentary that not only highlighted Betsy's talent but also her significant contribution to community building through art.
