Welcome to Los Angeles – Good Magazine

I did a story on trans generational poverty / skid row in L.A. for Good magazine.

I followed up with documentary series as a companion piece to the story called “On Skid Row”. Good exec produced; I wrote, directed, and co produced. It was a great oppertunity to give a national voice to local issue. They employed the Kenneth Cole Awearness blog to promote it… and MySpace featured me as an “Impact Filmmaker” for a month…. so a lot of people saw it. I’m still getting emails about it.
