The Team
Taylor Dueweke
Documentarian & Manitou Historian
Taylor Dueweke has been to prison, twice, since becoming a documentarian— by invitation of the warden, of course. For Taylor, sometimes non-fiction storytelling turns into non-fiction story-investigating. After he began asking about a new murder suspect, the State of Massachusetts reopened their cold, 50-year-old, serial killer case— The Boston Strangler. His research into the unsolved murders earned him the crown of “expert” from GQ Magazine. Aside from detective, his other roles include audiographer, producer, fixer, and (the most fun) a development director. It’s all the stuff you don’t see: pitching, budgeting, fundraising, and educational outreach. Taylor took the Emmy-nominated documentary Birth of a Movement on tour around Boston Public Schools where he taught students the history of racism in cinema.
Kammer Offenhauser
Manitou Proprietor & Landscape Architecture
Masters Candidate
The Manitou and Ponytail have long lived in the memory and imagination of Kam as he grew up next door to the storied grounds. Little did he know, his passion for the environment, food, music, community building and design would collide with his childhood daydreams when his father, Tim, decided to pull the metaphorical trigger and save the Manitou. It happened at a fortuitous time as Kam will be receiving his Masters in Landscape Architecture, as well as a masters in Environment and Sustainability from the University of Michigan (2025). He is excited to reimagine the site of his childhood with lifelong friends as they dig up the past and lay out the framework for the future.
Teeny Stillings
Executive Producer
Born and raised in Harbor Springs with a passion for skiing, music, and film, Teeny made her way to Los Angeles in 2010 and found success as a producer. Her experience as a leader of television development and production, at the studio and network levels, have earned her a Primetime Emmy and a Daytime Emmy nomination. She is a proud DEI leader who fosters new professionals and brings diverse talent to the forefront.
Nate Graham
Executive Producer
“Nate for mayor!” the locals cry, but he is busy… either flying his drone or crawling through a tunnel. Known as the “Prince of Harbor Springs,” Nate is a fourth-generation local slinging houses out of the Graham Real Estate office on Main Street. Everybody in town knows him, and he knows everybody. In the spirit of local icon Virgil Haynes, he has been photographing the summers on Little Traverse Bay for well over a decade.
Emma Spencer
Intern
As she begins her Junior year at Harbor Springs High School, Emma Spencer has already proven herself as a force to be reckoned with. She can farm, she can fish, and she can film. Having directed 5 short films, one of which won Best Cinematography at the Compass College Film Festival, her talent and passion for filmmaking is clear. Emma’s dedication to learning the craft will undoubtedly pay off in her future pursuits in the film industry. We couldn’t ask for a better team member.
