Larvick is co-directing his first feature film, sharing creative and filming duties. Also a professional photog- rapher, Larvick is putting his photography skills to work by collecting portraits of the Gold Star families on the trip in hopes to creating a “coffee table book” to accompany the documentary. The found- er of LarvickMedia, he works alongside Hood River and Gorge based businesses such as Double Mountain and Maryhill Winery. While filming is the fun part, the behind the scenes work commands the most time. Working as a two- and sometimes three-man team, Larvick and Manny are slowly contacting the families, organizing equip- ment, plotting the road trip and trying to raise funds for the films production, all while leading their normal lives as media producers. Marquez and Larvick interview Kurt and Teresa Greniger, Robert’s parents. Contributed photo The “XVII Carvings” project has already began capturing video, but the bulk of pro- duction doesn’t begin until October when they embark on their five week road trip in Oklahoma. The plan is to head down to Texas, then drive up the east coast. After driving through the Midwest they plan to end at Camp Pendleton in California. Many of Anthony’s friends and unit members complet- ed training at the Marine Corps base outside San Diego. A fundraising page has been setup to try and secure funding. “This project will be our entire lives for five weeks,” said Manny. With no production assistant and no gaffer, Larvick and Manny will be trying to fill every role on set. The two are doing a project that usually requires a team of seven or eight. Although, when revisiting families that have lost a loved one, some- times a smaller team is better. “If you are surrounded by seven or eight people, it can feel very overwhelming,” said Larvick. Those who donate to the GoFundMe will be gifted items such as t-shirts and movie posters, depending on the amount contributed. If you would like to support the production, you can find the fundraiser by searching “XVII Carvings” on the GoFundMe website.
