Jane wrote the award-winning feature film screenplay, SACAJAWEA, The Windcatcher (formerly, Windcatcher: The Story of Sacajawea), an epic story based on the life of Sacajawea, inspired by the Journals of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. Her unique vision is to share the Lewis and Clark journey through Sacajawea’s eyes. The project is currently in Development, to be produced in Oregon by Sacajawea The Movie, LLC and Broken Hand Productions, LLC.
Sacajawea, The Windcatcher was selected and nominated in 2013 for BEST PERIOD PIECE by the Action On Film International Film Festival.
