Together it’s Possible is, as their website says, a group of parents of cognitively-challenged children working to get better support services in northeast Pennsylvania, or the “Slate belt.” They have occasional retreats, where the kids can have some fun activities and the parents can share stories and advice and wisdom with… Continue reading
My work with Curio Theatre led to my being asked to shoot some short testimonial videos for the Calvary United Methodist Church at 48th Street and Baltimore Avenue. (Curio shares the building with the Church.) So, when the Methodists needed someone to do some quick video work for a project,… Continue reading
My friend Chris Lombardi is closing in on the finale of her long-in-the-works book, I Ain’t Marchin’ Anymore: Soldiers Who Dissent, from the Boston Massacre to Bradley Manning. I’m privileged to have a part in this project. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been prepping a video for the Kickstarter… Continue reading
When we shot the trailer for Caitlin R. Kiernan’s novel “The Drowning Girl,” we accumulated about two and a half hours’ worth of footage. A lot of it looked gorgeous. There were a few moments when we caught some of the activity behind the scenes– not very much if that,… Continue reading
In 2010, the first Steampunk World’s Fair was being organized. My friend Emily Tullis, with whom I’d worked on the Philcon program books, persuaded the organizers to let us design a program schedule for the event.

The Dorian’s gig came about because of a conversation with Gil Cnaan, who is one of the more wonderfully improbably creatures… Continue reading
The final trailer for Caitlin Kiernan’s The Drowning Girl went live on March 3rd, 2012. Thanks to the promotions office at Penguin Books and some encouraging word-of-mouth from other fantasy writers, the trailer’s been accumulating an audience (and, we hope, spurring people to buy her book).

I hadn’t planned to do a promo for the play. But the book’s been a favorite for years. Anyway, I was looking at Kyle Cassidy’s photography for the play (http://kylecassidy.livejournal.com/691978.html), and I really liked the blood spatters on the play’s title. I thought about the book’s opening line, and it… Continue reading
This project was the labor of love for photographer Kyle Cassidy and fantasy writer Caitlín R. Kiernan. Kyle had read her upcoming novel The Drowning Girl in galleys, and it inspired him to develop “scenes from a movie that was never made.” He and Caitlín lined up performers, contributions from… Continue reading
