A Discussion with the Award-Winning Filmmaker Annie O'Neil

Aired on Tuesday, June 13th.

Our guest on this broadcast of ST is the acclaimed filmmaker Annie O'Neil, who is probably best known for her work on the award-winning documentary, "Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago," which is a detailed profile, directed by Lydia Smith, of six hikers making the difficult, 500-mile Camino De Santiago pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in Galicia, Spain. After this film came out in 2013, O'Neil was contacted by one Phil Volker, a man living near Seattle with Stage 4 cancer. Eventually the two became friends, and O'Neil's newest film is actually the product of this remarkable friendship. It's called "Phil's Camino" -- and it will be screened tonight, Tuesday the 13th, at the All Souls Unitarian Church here in Tulsa, beginning at 7pm. the event happens in Emerson Hall.

As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government.
