Not Living The Dream
"Not Living the Dream" is a podcast about Alison and Stefanie, 2 girls from NJ who moved to L.A. to live the Hollywood Dream. Here's what happened instead.
"Not Living the Dream" has ended and is currently mid-migration from Libsyn to Soundcloud.
Hula Hoop World Record Training
Alison spent some time training to set the Guinness Book record for fastest mile while hula-hooping.
Not really because she's the best at it...or even that good at it at all...but because no one else had done it yet, and Guinness told her to go ahead and try.
Here's an example of her training diary, which can be found on her Hula Hoop Vimeo Channel where you can also watch Alison hooping in snow shoes on frozen Lake Michigan in March. In a bikini.
Seriously.

Let Me Sing: the Story of Bobby Byrne
“Let Me Sing: the Story of Bobby Byrne” spotlights a 66-yr old singer, musician, joke-teller and pied piper. Bobby’s penchant for Broadway medleys, Irish drinking songs and vaudeville throwbacks keep 30,000 fans packing the church halls, boardwalks and pubs of New Jersey. Throughout the film, these performances provide a backdrop for the touching story of his loyal followers.
Performing simply as "The Bobby Byrne Show" for over 30 years, his boundless talent and uncompromising dedication to his craft and to his fans reveals the true importance of his work as an entertainer. What emerges in this film is a hilarious and intimate portrait of musical passion and small-time fame.
The film was selected to screen at the Garden State Film Festival and the Golden Door Int'l Film Festival. Below is a clip, created with personal and fan footage from over the years, from the 55-minute film. DVD sales have ended (SOLD OUT!), but if you'd like to see the film, please contact me.

Trashin' the Big Apple
Screened at the Planet In Focus International, Princeton Environmental, New York Avignon, and Queens International film festivals, "TrashIn' the Big Apple" addresses the environmental impact of landfilling food waste, with New York City as a case study. New Yorkers waste more than any city in America, but there's been no major policy, movement or plan to remedy the damage to the earth and its citizens.

This documentary short, made in 2005 (the original 15-minute version will soon be made available), is finally having an impact, with Brooklyn's pilot program alongside a future city-wide composting plan. The documentary spotlights sanitation authorities and city businesses, demonstrates steps for solutions at home, and even tours the Rikers Island Prison composting facilities, offering solutions for large scale operations. Through interviews with key figures, animation, and featuring a dynamic narrator, the 8-minute film takes the viewer on a short but comprehensive ride through the mounting problem of food waste.
With 'Garbageland' author Elizabeth Royte and former NYC Composting Director Tom Outerbridge.
