In 1983, a long time friend of mine, Ferman Ansel, told me of a documentary he was working on to show people the intricacies of the lost wax casting process of bronze sculptures. I was intrigued by the thought of having a video made which would explain this process with actual moving images instead of me attempting to explain this process to the many people who inquired about it. I usually went off on a tangent with flailing hands gyrating around, all the while the people were staring at me in utter amazement not having even the slightest clue what I was talking about. Because of this, I took on the task of financing the documentary from this point on. Ferman and I took several trips across our state and to Oregon to video the bronze foundry process. He focused on many of my sculptures, but also added works from many well known artists. The video was introduced in 1984 and produced by Starlight Productions. I was privileged to share in the editing process by choosing all of the music for the video and placing it in the most strategic spots in the production. At the time of filming, I was married to my first husband, Bob Moss, so you will see me referred to as Debbi Moss instead of Debbi LerMond.
