This 1962 image of a young documentary producer, focusing on the wide world west of midtown Manhattan, is me in the first months of my 26-year career at the Television and Motion Picture Service of The United States Information Agency (USIA). That employment began after a 3-year Army hitch as a producer/director in the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS), with assignments in New York, Korea and Hollywood. USIA was followed by 25-years in the private sector as a principal and Executive Producer in Global Village Communications (GVC), a full service production company located in Old Town Alexandria. I stopped counting the number of documentaries with my name on the credits at about 250. The ones that are my favorites will appear on my blog over the next months. I hope that you enjoy them.
Thank you for your ageless and touching documentaries. Both are current today ! People continue to seek refuge in different ways. Some find solace in nature and the arts and others in the generosity of their welcoming neighbors.
Congratulations on your blog!
