Telemark Pictures is a filmmaking group located in the sprawling prairie village of Topeka, Kansas.  Our goal is to develop filmmaking in Kansas and the midwest.  
 
The most recent film is Through Martha's Eyes  This film,  based in part on historical events,  tells the story of Martha,  a young African American woman sold into slavery in 1856 to work and live at an Indian Mission School in Territorial Kansas. Thinking Kansas Territory was the land of freedom, and that she would soon be set free,  Martha travels from Missouri to her new home at the Mission.  She soon finds out things are much different than she thought.  While trying to manage as a seamstress Martha is forced to help change cultural beliefs among Indian children, and is witness to the early skirmishes that lead to Civil War.  Breathtaking vistas, romance, friendship and defiance all come together in a dramatic conclusion to this powerful story from the American frontier.
