Chicano City, USA...getting closer to reality!

Hello,
today is the deadline for the E.L.A.R.A to finalize the funding for the fiscal study to show if East Los Angeles is financially viable as a city. They are so close! These are exciting times, and we can't wait to get the project of the ground!

F35

I like the Sony F35 on this steadicam rig. It feels like a Arri 435!

today we had an absolute treat: we were able to go and visit during shooting of our "Makeup Inc." with Jim Sacca show, Ron Wild's place.  Ron Wild is one of the most amazing Makeup/VFX artist in the world today, and currently lives and works in Las Vegas.  What an honor to spend time with him.
