December 30, 19?·> ,r# J ack Pepper egas lews Bureau , Charleston egas, Nevada ,gsr Jacks lenver ho Actually, this film project is very simple, le would Boreas, to shoot a 13 minute film on what the weekend j Our idea is to use a couple who hypothetlcally fly fr< and follow them through their weekend* The weekend activities in which they HH indulge should include swimming, dancing, boat!rag, gambling, nigjatfc clubbing, golfing, etc* ri* asing the ticket in Denver and the television station* to Dill wilx to run th< ., news director for Kl-fV and I will write the script, and he narration. Joe fterold, - KB-f'? station manager, has promised _____ m about a dozen times during 1956. Our real gimmick on this film is that it1 s the first travel film specifically made and narrated for Ienverites, All the other travel films used os TV are of a general nature and do not quote travel times, fares, schedules or mention hotels or nightclubs by name, ?╜*?╟≤ plan to give this information in the narration?╟≤ I have discussed this type of film wi?·h the travel editor and radio and TV editor of the Denver Post and they both agreed that it's a good idea and that they will plug it in their columns when it is televised* By the use of a script rather than sound track, the film becomes very flexible and with a few script changes, the film could be used on television in many of our 80 cities from coast to coast. X also would like to mention that United Air Lines Is interested in using the film in sales promotion among its own people and customers at private showings* The time element is important to us for this reason-??the Graham murder trial begins shortly and will last for some time. During tfeat period, it will be impossible for Bill Michelsen and me to get out of town* Rather than delay this project any longer, we feel we must start the ball rolling by January 13, which is the only time Michelsen and I can get away.
