Buffalo For Real TV series

Buffalo For Real TV is an online series exploring the unique places and one-of-a-kind experiences to be found in Buffalo and Western New York.  Check out all episodes in the series at the Buffalo For Real TV youtube channel.  Collaborating with musician Nelson Starr and Ed Healy at Visit Buffalo Niagara, we produced five episodes in 2011: Beer, On the Waterfront, First Fridays in Allentown, Buffalo Bills Tailgating, and Vidler's 5&10.  Thanks for watching and look for more episodes in 2012.

"Locally Grown" complete - get it on DVD!

One of my favorite projects this year was producing Locally Grown, a 35 minute documentary about Buffalo's most beloved store, the Lexington Co-Op.  It was a privilege to meet many of Lexington's founding members and local farmers;  they offered many humorous anecodotes, and an inspiring message for all of Buffalo about what is possible when a community comes together in common purpose.  In case you missed the premiere, the DVD is now available at the store.
