I followed up with documentary series as a companion piece to the story called “On Skid Row”. It was a rehashing of my work in the LA Weekly, so they weren’t elated about that, but it was eclipsed by the opportunity 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. In a sense in was a corporate clusterfuck, but working with Lindsay Utz (editor/producer) was a big step up for me. I’m still getting emails about it from people looking to directly engage with the community… who mostly all are still there.
