Willow Pond Films is named in memory of the Willow Pond Kitchen, a beloved historic restaurant in Concord, Massachusetts, that was torn down by the National Park Service to make room for a Revolutionary War historical marker. We make films about how history remains alive and is necessary for understanding and changing the world today. The history we tell in our films – like the road house with whom we share our name – is part of our world and nourishes us.
Check out the website for John T. LaBarbera, the brilliant composer of the music for SACCO AND VANZETTI.
