Grand National Glory Turkey Call Auction May 7 2013Jimmy_Schaffe-1 The documentary film crew of “Grand National Glory” is proud to announce the dates for their “Donated Call Auctions” on eBay. In an effort to raise money to help produce this film, a large batch of eBay auctions will be posted on Sunday, June 2, 2013. The auctions will end seven to 10 days later. Winners of the auction will enjoy ownership of turkey-hunting products, such as one-of-kind, autographed turkey calls or call sets from some of the top custom call makers in the country. A second batch of eBay auctions will be posted starting on Sunday, Aug. 4, 2013.

“Many of the best and most talented custom call makers in the world have donated amazing turkey calls to raise money and help produce this film,” said crew member JJ Reich. “Turkey hunters and call collectors can help produce this documentary by buying exclusive products donated by individuals or companies that believe in this project. One hundred percent of the money raised will directly cover expenses to produce this film.”

Almost every call maker donated a two- or three-call set, which are autographed and signed specifically for “Grand National Glory.” Some of the call makers who have stepped up and donated calls to be sold include Scott Basehore, Tim Bullock, Bob Fulcher, Gregg Guthridge, Al Holbert, Mike Lapp, Steve Lumma, Jimmy Schaffer, Pat Strawser, Ed Terefencko, Chris Utke and many more.

“Grand National Glory” is a documentary that celebrates the competitive art of turkey calls. The documentary is filmed on location at the homes and workshops of each of the three call makers from the Midwest. Dave Constantine, Eric Rice and Steve Stortz opened their doors and lives to the filmmakers, granting full access to their work, values, beliefs and daily routines as they prepared themselves, and their turkey calls, for the NWTF 2013 Grand National Decorative Turkey Call Making Contest. The film culminates with the final contest results revealed in Nashville, Tenn. at the final event this past February.

The story line emphasizes the human emotions that call makers face when they compete in call-making contests. Staying true to the art of documentary films, GNG reveals real-life happenings for these three craftsmen … a truthful window into the world of custom turkey calls.

The only choice for a film about turkey calls was to go “indie” or independent, and produce the work completely outside of a major film studio system. Much like public television or radio, the significant expenses to produce this documentary are largely being funded by cash donations from viewers who believe in the project.
