the Jimmy Stewart Museum in Indiana, Pennsylvania since 2002. George was introduced to the Museum by then Media resident David Wren who is publishing a book about Ardrossan, the ancestral  home of Hope Scott, the inspiration for "The Philadelphia Story," and for which Stewart won an Academy Award. That same year he painted “First Snowfall,” and produced prints, cards and even a Christmas Ornament to benefit the Museum.

Over the past many years, George and his firm have worked with the Museum on many projects including a show of paintings on “The Movies and Music of Hollywood”, featured last year in conjunction with the holiday season.

This year, Rothacker embarked on a new venture: the creation of a 20 minute video on the life of Jimmy Stewart, a person of substance, great character, humility and heroism. The work is written, directed and edited by tRothacker Advertising & Design and produced by the Jimmy Stewart Museum and Foundation.

According to Rothacker, “The video should be complete by the 2016 holiday season, and will be part of an educational program based on the ‘values’ of Stewart, as well as the actor and the parts he played.

“The title of the video was inspired by wise words his twin daughters were given by their father before the went away to college, ‘Always, Remember, be nice to people.’”

In 2015, Rothacker Advertising & Design merged Dimitri Tiomkin’s original score into the 1946 movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Most of the music was deleted from the film and never presented to the public. Click here for the complete story.
