    hello -

    A production company is working on the pilot episode of the Weather Channel docu-series "Built to Last."  Each half hour program will showcase several residential homes that are built to withstand the forces of nature.

     

    They contacted me to identify some of those homes.  The shoots themselves would last about a day, or a day and a half during which our small film crew would film all aspects of the home, as well as speaking with the homeowners and/or architects, contractors, engineers and anyone else involved in the project.  This series will showcase the ingenuity and importance of protecting one's home from natural disasters, and the crucial role of the architect in that pursuit.

    Please contact me if you would like me to connect you w/ the producer.  thanks
