Ellen Frankenstein's latest addition to the New Day collection is the 57-minute film, No Loitering. The film grew out of a youth community arts and expression project with teens and young adults in Sitka, Alaska. This project, from the creation of mosh pits and murals to speaking out about finding a place in a small town and in society was funded by the Independent Television Service and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Frankenstein has four other documentaries in the New Day collection, Miles from the Border, A Matter of Respect, Carved from the Heart and a follow-up to Carved, called Words from the Heart. She is a contributing producer for Alaska PBS and has coordinated and participated in community arts and school-based media projects from South Central Los Angeles to Kake, Alaska. Frankenstein has exhibited her still photography nationally and internationally and has helped her spouse sail a 30-foot wooden gaff-rigged ketch sail boat from Mexico to New Zealand. She has a Masters in Visual Anthropology from the University of Southern California. Grants and awards include a Fulbright - Hays Fellowship and grants from the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts and the Humanities.

Frankenstein is currently working on a film called, Eating Alaska, a wry odyssey into sustainable food choices and gender roles through the eyes of a former vegetarian on a quest to find the "right" thing to eat on the last frontier.
