We’re proud to say we have a new team member here … Hank the dog. We adopted Hank from a lab rescue program in Cincinnati called Circle Tail. He’s a lab mix, about four months old, and quite possibly the best puppy we’ve ever met. He’ll be hanging around the office quite a bit, reminding us that it’s a good idea to have some play time now and then.
Today we made a scouting trip of sorts to the largest maximum security penitentiary in the United Sates, the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. We’re working with our friends Rex Powers & Matt Mays on a potential TV series where Angola would serve as a primary location. Angola is like a city in itself. It’s basically an 18,000 acre farm that happens to have prisoners on it – more than 5000 of them. The inmates mostly stay in dormitory style housing, with only the troublemakers spending their time in one man cells. As long as they are physically able, the majority of prisoners work in jobs ranging from mechanics and auto body techs to cattle ranchers and field hands. Several Hollywood movies have been filmed here, including Dead Man Walking and Monster’s Ball. We hope to eventually be able to add our production to the list.

Earlier this month Bill was hired to shoot underwater video for an independent documentary production. Now, being hired to shoot video underwater is unusual in itself, but what really made this job unique was the location. All work would take place in Eilat, Israel in the waters of the Red Sea. Of course, Bill jumped at the chance and traveled to Israel to spend three days scuba diving and shooting underwater video.
It was 24 hours of travel to get to the location. We spent three days scuba diving and shooting, then another 24 hours to return home. This was a quick trip for sure, but was definitely a great experience. We did some great work and met some really good new friends along the way. There’s a few photos here.

This weekend we were honored to have an excerpt from our DVD, “The Caves of Mill Pond: Jackson Blue” playing at the 2008 Scuba Show in Long Beach, CA. The trade show ran June 21st & 22nd. Inside the exhibit hall they set up an enormous screen and played diving related films continuously. We submitted a 5 minute clip from our JB film and it was selected to be played in the rotation.
