The topic changed after they went to see one of The Wedding's shows.
Eichenberger, who had not seen the band play before, was impressed by them, he said.
Shooting for "Move This City" began in December 2004, he said. Eichenberger told the audience that a few days after Christmas, Guttman called him and said she wanted to make the documentary about The Wedding, he said.
The next film shown was about the education system in a small area in Red Star, Ark. The film, titled "Headwaters: The School Away From Home," was produced by Cynthia VanBibber with assistance from Nick Lohanick.
"I learned of Headwaters through Nick Lohanick," said VanBibber, a student getting her master's degree in documentary film. "[He] had friends in the community."
In the film, music and art are seen as the main parts of the curriculum at Headwaters, according to the press release. The film shows the community members and students talking about the school's fondness for the environment and how different it is from public schools.
Children of various ages are taught together, and the school helps overcome the problems home-schooled children usually encounter, according to the press release.
When filming "Headwaters," VanBibber said the film does not solely revolve around on Headwaters but also on the topic of education.
"An investment of time and money in the education of our young people is the single-most important factor in bettering our world," VanBibber said. "My whole purpose revolves around that general topic [of education]."
The film shows many clips of the landscapes in Red Star and captures the beautifully-shot greens, giving the film an ethereal feel. The documentary also featured various music. The fiddle and banjo duo Curly Miller and Carole Anne Rose was featured throughout the film. Music from Miller's daughter and teacher Sara Miller also had some tunes featured in the film, and the closing song was "Beautiful World," written by Guy Ames and performed by the Strange Heroes, VanBibber said.
