Working with many people closely at CCFV and working closely with the producers and clients helped make this so cool. The opening section for a longer PSA with ten tips to preventing getting the dreaded pests (featured here). Enjoy--

This next spot is deceptively simple looking and employs several layers to erase signage and make the transitions from each focal length more seamless. It aired in Delaware movie theaters in an effort to discourage DUI. This piece was also made in conjunction with the stellar folks at CCFV.

Johnson) who have been hard at work on Operation: Get Rid of Pinky and I have unleashed a brand new trailer!  Also the boys have been running a very successful fund-raising effort for the project over at kickstarter.com.  Check out the trailer and if you like what you see please swing by that site and support locally produced film making.

The pilot episode of a new series at Nancy Glass Productions, also I've been hard at work with the happy crew there on their long list of fine television programmes... Kitchen Impossible, Drill Team, and Money Hunters.

Additionally I helped craft a really neat PSA with the talented folks at Center City Film & Television and hope to be able to share some links to that project soon.

Last but by no means least I've also begun working on a locally produced feature film called Operation Get Rid of Pinky.  The new trailer we're producing for that should also be available very soon.

Sorry to breeze through this update, there is a lot going on and I've got to get back to work!
