"Madeline Behrendt is at the heart of a growing nucleus of filmmakers living and working in Idaho. The first installment of her bCreative series of films expresses the significance of Boise's Creative Class on the community and makes it clear why Idaho's captitol has landed on so many top-ten lists as one of the best places in the country to live and work. I look forward to the next film in the series and the continued growth of filmmaking in Idaho."

Peg Owens

"Behrendt brings a mandarin style of filmmaking to her documentary bCreative. She demonstrates how cities such as Boise can create more liveable and viable communitites by creating opportunities and relationships among artists, art appreciators and art patrons.

Behrendt skillfully examines these individual relationships and more importantly, the overall instrumental value that collectively defines and shapes our community."
