THE OLD RAILROAD TRACKS
OF MARIN COUNTY |
This was a mini- six-minute documentary student film project that was done through the College of Marin in Kentfield, California, back in late Spring 2003. It was intended by its filmmaker to also act as a brief "trailer" for a longer, more formal 30-minute documentary that has yet to be produced.
