Los Angeles Youth Network

I recently completed a PSA for the Los Angeles Youth Network (www.layn.org). This was an extremely rewarding experience. I worked with Nicola Marsh, www.nicolabmarsh.com, an excellent DP who graduated from the USC MFA program a few years back.

Perhaps the coolest thing about making a PSA for an extremely worthwhile cause is how much vendors are willing to donate! Panavision, Riot/Method Post Production, Deluxe, Kodak, Wooden Nickel, and countless others were extremely generous, giving us what we needed to make a very high-production-value PSA for next to nothing. Panavision even allowed us free use of a techno-crane. read more »

Creating the CFAN website

Creating this website has been a fun challenge. It's a game of thinking "what might everyone want, and what can I actually do in such limited time."

(I'm only able to give an occasional weekend day to this project, as my web development business is hopping.)

Anyway, please post your thoughts, notes, let me know what you think, want etc. I might not be able to give you what you want, at least, not this year, but send it this way! Also: if you are an artist and want to help create graphics that will make this site look more interesting,  please tell me you want to help!  (Thank you already to member John McCoy,  who is currently working on a default "Member Graphic" for those of you who don't upload photos.) read more »
