The film does indeed show original versions of most of the buildings. We even have footage of the front pool and fireplace moat at Hollyhock filled with water. We also talk about Marin County CC's original open roof lines minus skylight. It is our understanding that the skylight was added by Wes Peters, not Aaron Green. The film includes all 25 built California structures, and extensive material on the unbuilt structures. It is very complete.

The Romanza DVD will not be available until after completion of the 2012 lecture/screening tour, probably late in the year. The music is from Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet" suite.

wow, the director of this trailer seems to owe some royalties to the estate of stanley kubrick, lest he face some litigation

Some of the buildings are not at their best here. Hollyhock w/o it's reflecting pool; Morris w/ that horrible gate; Millard w/ the Lloyd Wright addition jutting out of it. Hopefully, vintage images are incorporated into this documentary to show the structures built as Wright intended.

Also, the documentary should note that Marin was conceived by Wright w/o the skylight running the length of it. The inner courtyards were to be open to the sky, w/ trees growing in them, etc. Green added skylite
