• Produced a 20 minute film from script development to completion. The narrative was based on actual events when a young hispanic reporter happened to be at the scene when there was a gas explosion in Harlem.

• The film features celebrities Anthony Michael Hall, as the newspaper’s editor and Maggie Mathison, a senior reporter and mentor to our protagonist.

• We staged a building fire in Harlem with pyrotechnics, NYPD, Firemen, and 125 extras.

• In another scene, we filmed underground graffiti artists tagging an abandoned grain terminal in Redhook, BK.

• We shot for weeks, huddled in a “video village van” because it was winter in NY, 18 degrees. Good Times!
