Mary Olson's children's books about Alzheimer's Disease grab the attention of filmmaker Zach Jordan

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - EntSun -- Zach Jordan, writer, director, cinematographer, and co-producer of "Carpe Kilimanjaro: An Alzheimer's Story" will include Johnson City, Tennessee as one of the cities he will be visiting for his documentary project. He is an award-winning Founder/Partner at Joe Digital, Inc. and has created and developed content for some of the leading platforms in traditional and new media. As a documentary filmmaker, he worked as a camera man on "America's Deadliest Catch," was a producer and cinematographer on "Buckle Brothers: A Documentary on the Soul of a Cowboy," which was one of 10 documentaries chosen to premiere at the 2005 AFI Film Festival in LA, and as a camera man on "Derailroaded," the award-winning documentary on Wild Man Fischer.

"Carpe Kilimanjaro: An Alzheimer's Story" is Zach's award-winning film of one man's ascension of a mountain and his metaphorical ascension to fatherhood, in the face of his own father's Alzheimer's diagnosis. He honors us with this documentary of his family's journey and the coming-of-age story of hope, courage, and love.
