BRIC Community Media Center was in my neighborhood this summer, and I took classes there to learn tv production. It's a lot to learn and this is my first one, so it's a work in progress...but I'm very excited to have completed one special. 

Our first special features Irish dancer Siobhan Butler doing a traditional style of Irish dance called sean-nos. We have clips from Boston Harbor fiddle school, McPherson Kansas Scottish Festival (sheep!),












We have the Brooklyn Bookshelf featuring my sister Christine Finlayson's latest mystery, Tip of a Bone.... and of course fiddle music.  Also featured in this segment is guitarist Vita Tanga.

It takes a lot of people to work on a tv show, and I'm very grateful to those who were a part of the process, most especially my classmates and colleagues at BRIC that filmed the TV studio part of the show. 
That would be: 
PJ Landers (director, robotic camera), Andrew Thomas (Technical director), Scott Hampton (camera)
Rafael Diaz (camera) Jarmil Clyne (floor manager), Gwendolyn Etienne (Teleprompter), Clifford Acquaye (sound engineer). 
Brian Lynch did a years worth of editing, and I take the blame for all the issues (sound synch!) that came up, because now I know what NOT to do with the film....

My favorite part of the show is the sheep herding in McPherson Kansas.  But there is something there for everyone, from athletic games to music and books.

Enjoy the show!
Remember it's on youtube now too, if you want to watch it at your leisure.
