Washington Court Reporters Association

On the Record Court Reporting Documentary

For the next 18 months, we’ll be filming On the Record, a documentary about court reporting. We have the full cooperation of NCRA and Mark Kislingbury (who will be attempting to break the speed record again).

Our goal now is to make sure everyone involved in our field is aware of the movie. If there is a way to relay this message to the members of your association, that would be wonderful.

And we’re looking for stories to feature! As an example, a reporter was telling me about having to caption 9/11 as it was happening – having to write while crying. That’s obviously a very moving moment that those OUTSIDE of court reporting can relate to. But it doesn’t have to be that kind of experience. It can be funny, dangerous, odd – whatever. And if you know of anyone who was captioning as 9/11 was happening, I’d love to hear from them as well for a special segment we’re putting together.

My email is Marc@CourtReportingMovie.com. We start filming at the 2012 NCRA convention, so if you see me, make sure to say hi!

And please….SHARE!!! More sharing means more exposure for court reporting. And that’s the goal.

Thanks!
