The short film I directed/shot/edited for the Buffalo Niagara Convention & Visitors Bureau went live online today. You can view it at the Buffalo Convention & Visitors Bureau website here:

Also, check out the short article on Buffalo Rising about the film, and read some viewer reactions in the comments section.
Thanks to my creative collaborators Nelson Starr and Nathan Peracciny, and to the Buffalo Niagara CVB for the opportunity!
So, does it make you hungry or what?
Since July, I've been working (with Nelson Starr and Nathan Peracciny) on a new short film, produced in conjunction with the Buffalo Niagara Convention & Visitors Bureau.
"Buffalo: You'll Eat It Up!" is an entertaining, whirlwind tour of Buffalo's food scene. Designed to literally whet viewers' appetites and promote cultural tourism to Buffalo, the film will be unveiled at 6:30pm Monday, Nov. 2nd at the Market Arcade Theater in downtown Buffalo (639 Main Street).
It will screen as part of Field & Fork Network's TABLELAND event, which includes a screening of the award-winning feature documentary "Tableland" and a local food showcase. (Check out the incredible menu!)
If you miss the event, you can still see the film - it will launch on the Buffalo Niagara Convention & Visitors Bureau website Tuesday morning, Nov. 3rd. But don't wait for that - come see the premiere on a big screen in full HD brilliance!
Tonight is the Travel Channel's national broadcast premiere of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations visit to Buffalo (his crew filmed here in February).
Here is the short film I made with Nelson Starr that lured Bourdain to Buffalo.
We're throwing a TV watching party at Pearl Street Grill & Brewery to celebrate (see flyer below for details).
We'll be showing episodes of All Access Pass and Adventures in Buffaloland, leading up to the Bourdain broadcast at 10:00pm. The Travel Channel has a promo teaser - watch it here.

TrueBlueBuffalo is an online television channel featuring episodic documentaries for and about Buffalo, New York. It was created and produced in 2009 by John Paget, with flagship shows All Access Pass with Nelson Starr and Adventures in Buffaloland with Tim Tielman.
...an online TV channel, that is.
It's a show for and about Buffalo, New York. Check it out at www.truebluebuffalo.com/tv
It will officially launch on Jan. 9th, and has already received some mentions in the press including Buffalo News and Buffalo Rising.
The two flagship series of the online channel are a food show, All Access Pass with Nelson Starr (who I previously collaborated with to woo Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations Travel Channel show to Buffalo); and Adventures in Buffaloland, hosted by Tim Tielman, executive director of the Campaign for Greater Buffalo.
