Beverly Hills Mixer on Thursday, Feb. 11th

Our next TV and film industry mixer is Thursday. Hope to see you there. RSVP at www.screenplaylab.com. Details below.

Sorry I had to skip sending out the newsletter last week. I've been busy with a lot of editing in Final Cut Pro lately, including several projects with ScreenPlayLab members.

ScreenPlayLab co-founder Gabrielle Pantera is producing more video segments for Gosh!TV, which I'm shooting and editing. Gabrielle also works at the TV production company Zodiak. They're buying reality show heavyweight RDF, making Zodiak the third largest TV production company in the world.

ScreenPlayLab co-founder Gabrielle Pantera interviews Aaron Carter from Dancing with the Stars, Naturi Naughton from Fame, Brigetta from Californication, singer T Dash Rich and more in The Gift Room before the Grammys. The cinematographer and the editor is me.
