Film Production Services
Archaeological
Legacy Institute offers film production services for projects
that are in keeping with its cultural heritage public mission.
We invite archaeologists, indigenous groups, museums,
tourism offices, government agencies, and others who wish to
share their stories with the public through the film medium
to contact us
with your ideas and goals. We
will help guide you through the process of budgeting and planning
a film or video project prior to any decision you might make
to undertake production.
Film is a very
powerful medium for delivering important perspectives, concepts
and information. ALI employs a team of highly capable film makers
and production staff to carry out production services:

Teal Greyhavens
Film maker Teal
Greyhavens, currently residing in Los Angeles,
learned his craft first as a high school student in Eugene,
Oregon, where he co-directed five short films, and then
at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, where he
collaborated on six short films and directed two independent
shorts. After
receiving his B.A. in Film Studies, Teal was awarded a
Thomas J. Watson Fellowship and with that support began
making Mirror of
the World, a documentary about the power of cinema
to foster understanding and communication around the world.

Faith Haney
Film maker Faith Haney has been a professional archaeologist in the western United
States for over 14 years. Following
a B.A. in Anthropology in 1995, her specialty in archaeological
graphics led her to earn an additional degree in graphic
design and illustration. She has been offering her artistic services through
her small business, Lithic
Creative Media (formerly Faith Haney Illustration
and Lithic Illustration & Design) for over a decade.
She now features her video portfolio at www.faithhaney.com
Faith's passion for cultural education and
outreach through art and design eventually led her,
in 2006, to add film to her repertoire.
Her graduate studies at Central Washington University
strengthened her love of film and video and it was here
that Faith produced a six-part local television program
called Anthropology Field Notes.
She has been supplying film content to ALI since
2007. After earning a M.S. in Cultural Resource Management,
Faith produced several small videos currently being
shown in visitor centers and museums nationally and
abroad. Internships in 2009 and 2010 with the Smithsonian
Institution Human Studies Film Archives and National
Geographic Television, both in Washington, D.C., have
added additional experience to passion.
When not making videos or digging
in the dirt, Faith enjoys motorcycle riding, scuba-diving,
and traveling with her husband.

Burcu Gezek Harbert
Production Coordinator Burcu Gezek Harbert,
a multitalented native of Turkey currently residing
in Los Angeles, is a filmmaker, a literary translator and a nomad. On the ALI team since 2007, she has a solid background in film production planning
and logistics as well as a strong background in the arts. She has experience
in project coordination, development, scriptwriting, and
the funding and marketing of films in the U.S., Turkey,
and Russia. Having worked for profit, not-for-profit and
government offices in different cultural contexts, she
possesses an acute appreciation for cultural differences
in these milieus. She is humorous yet professional, relaxed
yet fast, and loves to think in terms of the best case
scenario, the worst case scenario and everything in between. Burcu loves what she does, so just leave it
to her.

Guy Prouty
Film maker and archaeologist Dr. Guy Prouty, currently residing in
Eugene, Oregon, learned both his film-making and archaeological
crafts at the University of Oregon.
Guy spent two years in multimedia design where he learned
digital film making using professional media such as
Final Cut Pro and Premiere and computer 3-D modeling
with Maya, a top end program used by major movie studios.
He commenced his film-making in 2002 at the University
of Oregon Archaeological Field School in southeastern Oregon.
In 2003, he was glad to join forces with ALI,
where he had the opportunity to be part of a quality
film production organization that educates general
audiences and professional archaeologists about
the wonders of the human past using digital
media.
