Frequently Asked Questions

**** UPDATED JUNE 2014 ****

How long have you been working on the film and when will it be finished?
The film has been in process since Spring 2004, that is to say 10 years, at this point in June 2014.  Life and bills to pay notwithstanding, work on the film continues apace. 

The entire project has been much more challenging than expected at the outset.  Nevertheless, I am as committed to completing the film as I have ever been - or more so, if that's possible.  The film will be completed.

AND links to 48 State and Regional Fiddle Associations in over 25 states, another 18 fiddle associations in 8 Canadian provinces, and 7 fiddle associations in England, Scotland and Australia.


Where is Weiser and what else is there to do?
For those who know and love the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Contest® and Festival, Weiser is in their hearts and minds most of the time.  For them and everyone else, Weiser is about 75 miles northwest of Boise, Idaho, by way of Interstate I-84 and U.S. Highway 95.  Weiser is also accessible from I-84 via S.R. 201 and from the North via U.S. Highway 95.

These websites have lots of good info, including stuff to do:  City of Weiser, Weiser Chamber of Commerce, Illustrious Onionskin Players, Washington County, Four Rivers Cultural Center and Museum, Official Idaho Travel and Tourism Guide, Official Idaho Travel and Tourism Guide, SW Idaho Region, Southwest Idaho Travel Association, and the State of Idaho.

Another source for information on the Weiser, Idaho area which we recommend is the Friends of the Weiser River Trail website.  Extending 84 miles through the central, western part of Idaho, the Weiser River Trail is built along an historic and defunct railroad bed.  According to the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, it is the longest trail in Idaho.


Where is Idaho?
The State of Idaho is in the northwest United States, bounded:  to the West by the states of Washington and Oregon; to the South by Nevada and Utah; to the East by Wyoming and Montana; and to the North by the Canadian province of British Columbia.  Visit the websites of the Official Idaho Travel and Tourism Guide and the State of Idaho for more information.

What is the Weiser Films Player Of The Month?
Many individuals, musicians and non-musicians alike, have contributed to what fiddling and Weiser are today.  While some are widely acknowledged in the fiddling world, many others have yet to receive the recognition their dedication and hard work deserve.  Weiser Films.com will each month name one such individual the Weiser Films Player Of The Month.

The Weiser Blog includes comments and updates and posts on all the fiddle contests and events for which we have information.  It also includes comments on a whole bunch of other stuff, regardless of fiddle content or potential lack thereof.

Yes, but first you need to become a Registered User on the site.  Please see our Privacy Policy for more on the information we collect.


What is a 'blog' anyway?
You know, beats the heck outta us!  But just about every time we pick up a newspaper or read an e-mail or check out a website, there's someone going on and on and on about some 'blog' or other.  As far as we can tell, it's a sort of contraction of the words 'web log'.  Go figya.
