can in helping find a cure for this horrible illness."

We're going into our Spring season with lots of projects.
Our studio space is shaping up nicely and soon we'll have a
green-screen capable area to shoot in. Our post-production
and editing room are nearly complete and soon we will have our
lobby and conference room complete. It's been a long road
and lots of hard work, but we're nearing the end! Watch
this space for news of our Open House party coming soon.
Pre-production and fund-raising is still underway for
Oil in
the Family, our latest doc project. Jon's been to New
Orleans again and got some more great interviews.
Moving Midway is preparing for its European release
after much critical acclaim here.
Here's hoping the Europeans take to it just as well!
