You Mean People Actually Read This?



I originally posted this blog as an online writing sample. Part of a futile attempt to secure employment in another newsroom.

It came to my attention this week that people are actually reading this. So maybe I should write something.

How 'bout a Where-Is-He-Now.

I've spent the past two years as a freelance producer and editor. The bulk of my work has been for the VA, where I re-educated myself on the finer points of Avid's Media Composer.

Since the end of 2009, I've partnered with other downsized comrades, installed a Final Cut edit suite in our spare bedroom and started selling documentary-style marketing videos for companies and nonprofits. And we actually have some clients. (Go to Peter Rosen Productions LLC)

I'm a producer, writer, editor, graphics artist, and occasional music composer.

Feature reporting isn't what it used to be.

Courage.
