Logline for the Harley Langdale Jr. Foundation Documentary: The Harley Langdale Jr. Foundation, formed in 1958, works to advance and assist the community in education, health, research, and service.
I have met with Mr. Warren, the Executive Director at the Harley Langdale Jr. Foundation. He has okayed the documentary for now but wants to get approval from the Chairman and President of the Foundation before proceeding, My current plan is to go film broll of Harley Langdale Jr. memorabilia next week to have that for the first half of the documentary when it goes over his life and why he started the Foundation. In the meantime, I have also been researching more about the Foundation and possible interviewees.
