On Jan 15th 2013 - The QV Creekers with amazing filmmaker Peter Heres at Fern Hollow Nature Center.  We began to piece together the opening of the documentary on the "Salamanders of Bell Acres."  The group filmed various scenes and recorded numerous "voice overs" which are audio clips to accompany still shots and footage that were selected earlier.
