Care Package

Credits and Kudos

Cat Malovic is one of my dearest friends and she and her husband Robby have been kind enough to let me sleep on their couch when filming in New Orleans. Falling Together in New Orleans would not have been possible were not for Cat’s help. She is working on a master's degree in social work/public health at Tulane University and was assigned to help Lewis Taylor find his family, his home, and receive a trailer. I document their journey in Vignette One - Lewis Taylor is Always Home.

She is also the founder of the New Orleans Kid Camera Project.

 

John Clark at Iron Rail Bookstore, New Orleans

John Clark is a professor of Philosophy at Loyola University New Orleans and teaches in the Environmental Studies Program. He has been instrumental in pointing me in the right direction and helping me form questions for the interviewees. Clark has also been there to provide historical context about New Orleans and clarification on complex issues.  

 

bob holt

Bob Holt has helped in countless ways, one of which was sharing his knowledge of city development. We also hope to turn his book Hiding Among the Palmettos into a variety show and musical sometime next year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Neil Guidry, International Social Worker, Louisianna Himalayan Association founder, and adjunct professor at Tulane University School of Social Work, sparked the entire Falling Together in New Orleans project. Neil found Lewis Taylor, a displaced citizen, sleeping by the bayou and provided him with a place to stay. Neil then assigned his student, Cat Malovic, to help Lewis find his family. This is where FTNO story began. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
baird sadie

Baird Hoffmire helps on so many levels, one of which is sharing his bad-ass talent as illustrator, animator, and graphic designer. 

This photo is Baird with his daughter, Sadie Grace. Though, Baird tried convincing me it was really a hand puppet he made to look like Sadie… I don’t know, the more I look at it…

 


  We are very fortunate to have graphic artist & poet,
  Marcus Amaker on our team. To know Marcus is to
  love him.

 


 

 

 

 


Bill Carson is an evocative singer-songwriter (as well as many other diverse talents) and a joy to see around Charleston. We've had the pleasure to work with Bill on several projects, but most fortunate was his writing an original score for the Finding Pura Vida movie. We adore Mr. Bill Carson & our animals love him too!:)
