Here are some pics from behind the scenes at PSSI Studios, where we had the final day of shooting for the HRM shoot that I worked on as Assistant Director. The set before any lights. I'm the one hidden behind a light. The other guy was our sound guy, Eric Storlie. Here is Director Jared Bentley behind the camera. He shot the project as well. That's me in the background.

The HRM shoot is done. The three days went off without a hitch. Working as a 1st AD can be an extremely taxing job with long hours and a lot of work just keeping everything in place and on time.

He asked me to redesign his site and I wanted to get it up before his Fourth of July appearance. The site has lots of great recipes and some Step-by-Step Recipe Videos to cook along with which were pretty much hidden in the old site. Some time soon, we will be shooting and adding lots of new Step-by-Step Recipe Videos and a few other surprises. It is still somewhat of a work in progress, with a lot of work to do on updating the old database and old CMS system which currently have some issues. Here is a shot of the
