HIV: USA Documentary Project

Some of you may know that I've been producing HIV: USA, a short documentary series that I plan on taking to every state.  At this writing, 5 state stories have been completed.  HIV: USA is a cost effective prevention and educational project that has been used by state departments of health, non-profit and community based organizations to encourage testing and to empower the participants. HIV: USA has been featured in HIV Plus, A&U and recently in Indiewire: http://www.indiewire.com/article/jason-evans-on-his-film-hiv-id-watch-it-now-free 

To date, all of the HIV: USA projects have received worldwide distribution through SnagFilms. If you are interested in learning more about bringing the HIV: USA project to your state visit: www.hiv-usa.com for more information and to watch the films.  Sponsors receive 90 copies on DVD and costs cover travel, lodging, filming, editing, a cathartic creative writing workshop, participant journals and other incentives. 

2012 Update

 I've noticed that I need to update my website.  I'm slowly working on it.  

EveryStreet NYC

On this day, (01-18-2012) and nearly 3.5 years in the making, my wife and I became the first couple to walk EVERY STREET in Manhattan!  We began this journey on weekend excursions while living in Washington Heights.  It was a wonderful thing to do as a couple and I wouldn't have wanted to have done it with anyone else. We got amazing photos and video of our walk and once even began to blog about it.  

I'm am positive that we got to see more of Manhattan than the New Yorkers who live there.  Explore the world, it's yours for the taking!
