The Nancy Drew Documentary - Nancy Drew: The Case of the American Icon by Cathleen O'Connell of Desert Penguin Pictures was well underway, filming complete but going into production and editing to be finalized when funding from the NEH was wiped out - grants that were going to help fund and finish this! It was quite an honor to receive these grants and so much work was done on the documentary. I am an advisor and was interviewed for the documentary. It's a project dear to my heart and so I wanted to spread the news among the Nancy Drew community that you can help!
To help Cathleen get to the finish line, she's got a Nancy Drew Kickstarter campaign that's running from July 2 to July 30, 2025 to raise funding, though don't let the goal fool you, she really needs more than she's trying to raise in this first funding, so let's get the funding up to $95K for the Nancy Drew anniversary this year and beyond! It would mean the world to her and the Nancy Drew community to see this first ever full-length documentary happen! It will air on PBS and at film festivals, museums, libraries and more if we can help support it!
You can pledge outright and donated to support it or there are pledges for goodies like bookmarks, stickers, totes and more limited rewards - even a reward to get your name in the credits as a thank you - in the film festival version! Don't let July 30 creep up on you and miss out - click this link and pledge now to show your support!
Cathleen and I are all about keeping Nancy Drew's amazing history alive and this documentary will cement that legacy in a very visually appealing and commemorative way!
Thank you to all of you who support this endeavor, and I appreciate the community coming together to help out Cathleen - it's A Case of What Would Nancy Drew Do! So do your "Drewty" and pledge now!
