+1 to Mercer Media (they might also want to apply through The Standby Program that I think helps subsidize these sorts of projects but the work's going to Bill Seery either way, who's a NYC treasure and perfect for small-scale art/documentary stuff)

I'm also v curious how this attempt at in-person speed-solving is gonna go! On one hand, I've been doing Boswords virtually for a few years now, so most of my time comparisons are with PuzzleMe; OTOH, I usually do a ton of solving by hand otherwise, so maybe that'll work out well for me??
