From a film producer, about our consulting services:
"We met Sarah and Gabriel Chrisman when we shot part of our 19th-century detective adventure A Person Known to Me in Port Townsend, and ever since, the two of them have been an invaluable part of the project's extended family. For us, knowing Sarah and Gabriel is like having a direct line to the 1890s. They are our trusted advisers who can provide an almost instant answer to any question about life and history in our story era. How did people dress, eat, travel? Where could we go to learn the kind of slang that sleuths and crooks might have used? Who manufactured ladies' boots so recognizable that they could serve as a clue in one of our mysteries? Sarah and Gabriel bring a deep expertise, based always on the primary sources that they've spent years studying. Their answers to questions are thorough and extensive, with connections to even more resources -- and it all comes wrapped in a sweet-natured humor that makes every exchange with them an entertaining pleasure."
-Steph Argy, Producer A Person Known to Me_
