The central Vermont premier of Strength of the Storm, a film Directed by Rob Koier and Produced by The Vermont Workers' Center is coming up, January 28th at five pm at Barre's Old Labor Hall in Barre, Vermont.

On August 28th, 2011, tropical storm Irene devastated many communities across southern and central Vermont. One week later, The Vermont Workers' Center, a local non-profit, hired me to document the recovery effort. A very powerful story of a community coming together and organizing to create change emerged out the wreckage. I made a five minute trailer and a fifty-five minute long film about the recovery effort at Weston mobile park in Berlin, Vermont. More than just a film, this was a transformative experience for myself and the people that became the main characters of the movie. Their courage and resilience in the face of disaster is inspiring.

Our trailer for Tigerstyle's iphone video game Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor just passed 100,000 views on You Tube.

A video we did last year for Lifenaut on the advanced friendship robot, Bina 48 just reached 13,564 views on youtube.

RKFP was recently hired to create opening and ending credits for a music video produced by Seventh Generation.

Briefly mentioned as current editor on Mac Parker's film Birth Of Innocence in an article by Seven Days. http://www.7dvt.com/2011macs-missing-millions-plot-twists-abound-film-fundraising-probe

RKFP is editing a feature length film for visionary Director Mac Parker. The film is called Birth of Innocence. It charts the loss and recovery of our connection to our own unique inner-self. The film invites the audience out from the compulsive hyper-activity of modern media culture and allows them to enter a deeper, quieter space within themselves.

A feature length science fiction film (2B/Transhuman) that RKFP was hired to re-edit is now being shown as a "pitch-cut" to American and International film financiers. We were hired by Terasem Media and Films to re-structure, tighten the film and generate new sound design and visual effects. We worked with MoonBase9 Design on the visual effects.
