Mary Hilbrink’s film is a general overview of the history of Cary, Illinois submitted for a hometown profile featured in 2015 at ‘The American History Film Project Exhibition’ in the Washington DC Metropolitan area. Hers was one of four films selected for the national film festival. She decided to film it with the help of some of her peers who live in Cary; the thinking was it is a short film by a young person “starring” young people. Her friends really enjoyed being included in the project.
