A small rural church sits at a crossroads in Lynn, Pennsylvania. Home to music since it was built in 1883, the church was transformed into a concert venue nineteen years ago, bringing in renowned singer-songwriters from all over the world. This Sacred Place: The Story of Old Lynn Concerts tells the unlikely story of how this sacred place became a respected music venue. The history of Old Lynn is presented along with footage from the last show of the series, featuring performances from Lorne Clarke, Tom Flannery, and Bret Alexander. "I met Lorne Clarke and Tom Flannery by happenstance in 2005 when I was looking for music for my documentary, Facing Sudan. They agreed to contribute songs and write a score completely pro bono. I believe it was their music that truly provided the emotional impact of that film and the follow-up, Crayons and Paper. When Lorne told me he was closing the Old Lynn Concert series after 19 years, I wanted to document that show and the amazing history of this series. This Sacred Place is the story of how music can bring people together, even in a rural Pennsylvanian town that does not appear on most maps." --- Bruce David Janu, Director Check out our article about how This Sacred Place: The Story of Old Lynn Concerts was color corrected and edited.
