On Sunday November 14, 2010 the final shots were taken and the last interviews were recorded with participants of the "You are not Alone" project, a 6' tall by 6' wide structural foam turtle used by Marietta Dantonio-Fryer as a healing arts and art therapy aid to help children and teenagers in counseling at the Main Street Counseling Center in Stroudsburg, PA

Paul Boggia, Director of the Main Street Counseling Center was more than happy to allow the final filming for the upcoming documentary about the project to be done right where it all happened from the start - right in the counseling center itself. Leslye Abbey, owner of Snowflake Video Productions who has been making regular trips to Stroudsburg in order to film the area and project participants as they are available was once again on scene making sure she had all the video she needed to make the final cuts and complete the documentary.
Interviews were recorded with the last of the kids who helped create the turtle as well as an extensive final interview with Marietta Dantonio-Fryer to be sure Leslye had al the details recorded before the final editing begins. Earlier this year, Leslye created a trailer to help promote the upcoming documentary and begin to generate awareness of its release - see the trailer at
