Fall 2008 Update

My goodness, it's been 4 months since my last post. So much has happened:

-Field produced a show for National Geographic Television's "World's Toughest Fixes" in the arid desert near Antofagasta, Chile

-Produced and wrote KVIE's "Rebuilding the Boat" about a highway construction project in Sacramento

-Went to Burning Man for the 6th time

-Took a two week trip to Boston and New York, which led to...

-Accepted a job at Boston's Powderhouse Productions, where I'll produce and write two shows for Discovery Channel's "Build it Bigger".

Yep, that means I'm moving to Boston. After 9 years in the Bay Area, I'll have my first winter in a decade. I haven't lived on the East Coast since 1995, when I spent 9 months in Washington, DC. Since then, it was 4 years in Michigan and 9 years in San Francisco. Needless to say, I'm expecting some culture shock. Who knows, maybe I'll return to SF. Or head to LA or NYC. Either way, it's a change, and that's always good.

In case you've never seen my show "Berlin Wall: Great Escapes", part of National Geographic's Megastructures series, it's been posted online at Google Video.



It's a fun watch, and one of my favorite shows. For some reason, this version was revoiced by a hilarious Scottish VO artist. Keep your eyes peeled for cameos by Patrick van Beusekom (smoking his first ever cigarette), Kat Covell, a number of Kat's film friends, and even yours truly crawling through a tunnel.
