On Sunday, February 22nd, D-PAN released a new ASL music video directed by Adrean Mangiardi starring performer Rosina Mae. I was the Assistant Director & Location Scout for this shoot. We filmed in February of 2014 in Detroit. This was a fun independent shoot that Adrean and Rosina wanted to do. Check it out!
February 20-22nd saw the D-PAN team host another Youth ASL music video sign language weekend workshop. We had 20 students ages 12-17 attend the camp, many coming from Detroit and metro Detroit area, as well as a couple students from Massachusetts!
We are extremely proud of the students as they put their heads together to create, film, perform and edit a music video in just 12 hours. A hard task indeed. These kids never cease to amaze me with their passion and excitement. Once again I am blown away by the result. I couldn’t be more honored to be involved with such a talented team to help blossom and develop the future of Deaf Talent! The video is going through a few minor touch-ups and will be released shortly!!

All has been quiet on the homefront as I’ve been busy with work projects. Got a couple music video releases coming up soon that I’m looking forward to sharing as well as some upcoming tour dates to be announced soon for dates in March and April.
In the meantime, I recently worked Billy Idol “Kings and Queens of the Underground” tour when it came through Detroit on 2/6/15. Billy still has it!!
