Trying to Capture a Culture -- Teresa Bruce

To kick off our Archaeology Month series, Teresa Bruce, documentary film-maker of the CINE Golden Eagle award winning "God's Gonna Trouble the Waters," will discuss the trials and tribulations of trying to capture the essence of a culture within a 60minute film.

Bruce is originally from the Pacific northwest, but spent some of her formative rattling around in a homemade camper along the Pan-American highway. Settling down, Bruce worked for SC ETV affiliate WJWJ in the early 1980 and 1990s. She left the area -- and ETV -- in 1996, but like so many others, was drawn back to Beaufort in 2004.

She and her husband, Gary Geboy, collaborated on Transfer of Grace, a book of lowcountry photographs by Geboy with narrative by Bruce which earned them national recognition on the CBS Morning Show in 2007.
