Hello Friends!

For those of you who are in the New York area like me, you know that it's been a pretty crazy week with the arrival and aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. If you were in the storm's path, I hope that you and yours are safe and that your lights are back on -- or soon will be.

There are still so many folks in NY/NJ/CT who are in need, but there's also a spirit of community and resilience that you can really feel here on the streets of New York. It's incredibly inspiring.

As some of you might know, at my day job I serve as videographer for MTA, the NYC region's public transportation agency. This week, I had the chance to see first-hand how badly the damage affected NYC's transit network as well as how hard our employees are working to bring the system back for the public. I was honored to be mentioned in two articles about MTA's public information efforts during the storm:

BuzzFeed: How New York's MTA Covered Its Own Disaster On Twitter - http://bit.ly/SIPngf

Indiewire: NYC's Transit Authority Filmmaker Documents Sandy's Disastrous Effects - http://bit.ly/Ua6lIF

Lastly, our Kickstarter campaign for my debut feature film A PICTURE OF YOU is now entering its final week. We're more than half-way to our $30K goal, but we still have a long way to go before our Nov. 11 deadline. 

Thanks to all who have already donated. And for those who haven't yet, please visit: http://kck.st/Te3ZCE - every donation helps!

Thank you, as always, for your support.
