Life in 21st Century New England
About Me:
I'm a history writer, documentary filmmaker, and boatyard worker from Salem, Massachusetts. I'm on the Board of Directors at Salem Access Television.
I worked at Walt Disney Feature Animation in Glendale and Burbank, California for a little over 5 years, mostly as a production assistant on "Fantasia 2000". For most of that time I was the p.a. to Paul and Gaetan Brizzi, from whom I learned more about filmmaking than I could have in 10 years of school! I was also a production assistant on the H.P. Lovecraft movie "Necronomicon" as well as a documentary on Bing Crosby that featured Dennis Miller as a host. I put in a year as a Hollywood Temp and was posted all over town. I was also an extra in the movie "Airheads", in the crowd of rowdies outside the radio station.
A lot of what I've uploaded are shots related to my being an Oko. The Okommakamesit #2 Veteran Firemen's Association is a group that competes in New England States Veteran Firemen's League Musters, with antique hand tubs (or fire engines). I had a blast this past Summer shooting video of and participating in four musters. There is a video of mine here called Mustering 101 that explains what I am talking about, so watch it! There are seven musters in 2009 so I hope to be uploading a whole lot more soon.
If you like what you see and want to throw me some financial support that won't cost you a thing, please visit my website, www.salemhistoryonline.com, and click on some of the ads. You'll learn something about one of the oldest cities in the United States; I update it every week with events from the past 380 years in the history of Salem, Mass.
