I was fortunate enough to be invited to show my short film about water aerobics in front of a full and fully engaged house at New York’s Paley Center for Media (formerly the Museum of Television and Radio). The afterpanel’s star was Linda Fried, dean of the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. For me it was surreal in that I last visited the building 30 years ago, when a close friend and I watched the first episode of “Family Ties” using the Museum’s then-advanced archival technology.

Over the last decade, I’ve made hundreds of videos for Northwell Health, the largest hospital system in New York. Here’s one that’s interesting not for formal reasons but personal ones.

When worlds collide: this DVD cover art I designed appeared as it appeared on the shelves of a Brooklyn superstore in 2009. (I also designed the sticker.)

Just wrapped postproduction on this film made in collaboration with Michigan State University and WKAR in East Lansing. Coming to a film festival near you in 2024.

Shocked that my film BELOW SURFACE won two awards at its world premiere festival, the 2023 Gasparilla International Film Festival in Tampa: Grand Jury Award, Documentary Short and Audience Award, Documentary Short. In debt to Mary Lake Polan, Judith Bookbinder, Nancy Collet and Frank Bennack for this opportunity.

I took a radiation biology class as an undergraduate in the 90s, and studied microwaves as an elective topic. I learned that the Russian science of electromagnetic radiation (especially microwaves) was very different from western science; it was like a whole other incompatible language with different assumptions.

Here’s my final paper for this class, Biology 71 with Professor Shearer, which seems relevant with the recent developments with Havana Syndrome in the news.

Coming soon to a film festival near you, including the Berkshires International Film Festival. Friday, June 2 at 2:30 at the Triplex Cinema in Great Barrington and Saturday, June 3 at 2:15PM at the Lenox Town Hall.

A privilege to deliberate on an exciting townhouse development on Spartanburg’s Northside.

This matte silver-gold color of Hyundai’s all-electric retro-inspired trendsetter is only available in Europe, alas. In the U.S., matte-jonesing buyers will have to settle for charcoal.
