Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend and you were able to relax, spend time with loved ones and do some shopping. It’s the week before we shoot and everything is coming together nicely. We are about to send out the shooting schedule to the crew and actors for the December portion of the shoot which is exciting — a lot will be going on around NY in the next few weeks.

I’m very excited to begin working with him on the look and feel of NEW YORK LATELY. It will definitely be a departure from our usual styles.
