What is Eagle Wing Productions?
Eagle Wing Productions (EWP) is a video production course at John Marshall High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Founded by former Marshall teacher, John Holmes, in 1990, EWP is a course that gives students the opportunity to work on video productions for community-based clients. Before providing the talent and crew for Easy Breathers, EWP students appeared in videos for S.C. Johnson and for the Milwaukee Building and Construction Trades Council. Two years prior to Easy Breathers production, Heather Sattler joined forces with Holmes as co-directors of EWP. An English/Drama teacher, Sattler developed and taught an “Introduction to Eagle Wing Productions” course where students produced socially responsible videos for the community. She also developed course called “Acting for the Stage and the Camera.” Through this course, Sattler prepared talent to appear in videos like Easy Breathers. Meanwhile, Holmes prepared students for the taping and editing of community productions. Heather and Jo
