I've been consulting for the Clarion Fund on the premier launch of "Iranium", an important and powerful film that highlights the ticking time bomb of Iran's nuclear capability. After being banned in Iran, it has gathered tremendous publicity throughout the world. Sean Hannity on FOX devoted an hour long show to the film and the ramifications of this nuclear threat. I have embedded a portion of the Hannity special featuring "Iranium" below.
This year once again I worked as a consultant for the Ma’aleh Film Festival. Ma'aleh returned to the Los Angeles community through the generosity and support of Lauren and Ezra Kest. I worked with Ma'aleh behind the scenes on a weekly basis for three months prior to the festival. Our goals for this trip were to raise awareness and support for the school and the key role they play in changing the landscape for young film makers in Israel. Our strategy was to associate Ma'aleh with key players in the Los Angeles entertainment industry. We created an event which accomplished all of our goals. Our attendance tripled and the added equity of the CAA Theatre gave it tremendous cache and exposure. Our hosts for this event are dedicated to the school, their work and their vision which made an enormous impression on everyone in attendance (see pictures below).

I have also been traveling back and forth to Denver, Colorado, producing and directing two videos for the upcoming Aish Denver banquet to take place on March 27th at the Denver Center for Performing Arts, a magnificent venue. I am also directing and producing the live portion of the program. Aish Denver came to me with the desire to re-brand the branch and to re-establish their position in the community as an outreach center. The video presentation and the live presentation have been strategically positioned to accomplish these goals and revitalize their image. I will posting the videos shortly.
Finally I have been developing another important and exciting facet to my business, working as a consultant and coach for various organizations throughout the world. I have been using my expertise to coach my clients one-on-one on how to communicate their message effectively. One of my recent clients was particularly successful in their fund raising efforts. Together we developed a strategy to present to a potential donor. It combined the donor's passion with the organization's programing. It was a BINGO!
