THE DOCUMENTARY PRODUCER
April 30, 2008
Amy Janes started her career as a documentary editor and producer at a small production company in Boulder, CO. After attending UCLA’s graduate Producing Program, she was hired to run the feature film department Parkchester Pictures, a Paramount based production company.
Her most recent film is the documentary AS SEEN THROUGH THESE EYES, a feature documentary about the surviving art and artists of the Holocaust. It has gone on to win over eight awards around the globe, including Best Foreign Film at the Thessaloniki International Documentary Film Festival.
Made in association with The Sundance Channel and voiced by Maya Angelou, the film will be released theatrically this Fall.








Dear Amy,
Please read my documentay synopsis. Is this in your field of business? I have switched from writing books to this documentary and need someone with information on how to sell or take it on. I hope you can help.
My fully research original historical idea for a television documentary has not been done before.
For over five hundred years the Vatican has failed after granting King Henry VI of England, France and Lord of Ireland the highest award known to man, only to have it snatched away from him by the very judges that approved him for his canonisation, particularly has he passed their criteria on no less than three accounts. He had also been given the rare honour of the Golden Rose by Pope Eugenius IV
My documentary also puts into perspective the most unjust writing by historians of the most civilised mediaeval King of England has ever had which now the Vatican uses as a excuse instead of Henry VIII’s schism with Rome. They make no allowances for the world famous Eton College at Windsor that he founded at only seventeen years old, or the fact he had no part in the declaration of war with France nor did he cause the War of the Roses. The King’s vision he and his son would be slain which he took steps to avoid proved true, after being betrayed by a monk. King Henry VI was a Catholic therefore; if his canonisation was completed after the Pope’s visit to England in 2010 (Topical) if should not affect the status of Christianity in England.
If the King was canonised, it would probably follow that although the Church of England does not canonise or make any claim about the present heavenly state of a person it is enriched by the celebration of its fellowship with its saints. The Liturgical Commission of the Church of England, states that in the new calendar of saints a provision could be made for the King.
Documentary
Vatican Injustice
Visual
A tree lined long path of
Eton College leading to
a graveyard alongside the
Magnificent church.
The narrator, walks
through the tree lined long path
of the College and as he
crosses the graveyard dating
back over five hundred years,
he looks down at the moss
covered gravestones.
“All the names of the persons buried beneath these flat gravestones have been erased by the elements and by people walking over them for more than five hundred years. One may ask, ‘who were these people whose bones lie beneath these gravestones and what sort of life did they have?
The narrator turns
And raises his eyes
Up to the beautiful
