Happy 2015! Looking back, last year was remarkable. Finally made Penn State lion shrine come to life in 3D photorealistic computer animation (w/FuseFX in Burbank) for a 30 second spot (I saw it play during SONS OF ANARCHY between Jack Daniels and Harley ads) - I entered and won the top prize in Script Pipeline's Great TV show idea contest with treatment for SILENT PICTURE reality/documentary series (my DINO DUELS animation series treatment was a finalist last year) - screened my short doc…

Is Penn State involved in the MMG arts initiative through WNET? If you feed it that way there's also a good chance we could air it. Thanks for getting in touch!

- Oh what a terrific sign! My son was there -- I can't imagine how you could have missed each other ;-) -- and sent me to a site with 100 best signs. Yours should be there, too!

- Great pix! Is your kid really that old now? And can you put some video up, too -- the pix hint at the range of your programs and the videos would be very satisfying...
