Environmentalist, Schmenvironmentalist

Posted on: October 12th, 2013 by wmapother No Comments

A few years ago, Highland Cleaners in Louisville, Kentucky, opened their 12th location. It’s in an environmentalist’s dream structure, with a wide variety of features designed to be best buddies with our great green planet. It’s named, aptly, the Highland Green, and it boasts a terrific website about the building.

Michael Jones, Highlands’s President and a longtime (and long suffering) friend of mine, asked me to narrate a video he commissioned about the building and its environmental features. Business First of Louisville just ran a piece about my narrating the video.

Attached is a list of highlights about the building. The #1 LEED rating for a U.S. dry cleaning facility.

Signing off now, as I must go cuddle up to some earthworms.

Casting Director Marci Liroff recently gave actors’ a little gift: She compiled a list of casting direocrs who tweet. Marci herself is a crazily active tweeter, and with this list she’s given actors the opportunity to receive advice directly from cd’s. And maybe get the chance to know them a bit, so when you go in for them, you might even drop a question or comment about their interests.

My, How You’ve Grown

Posted on: September 20th, 2013 by wmapother No Comments

Business First of Louisville today ran a nice piece on the growth of Slated.
Until I saw it, I hadn’t realized how much we’ve grown. When Business First previously ran piece on Slated, we had 44 films listed, and now we have 230. And before we had probably about 2,000 users in our network, and now we have 5,000. Who doesn’t appreciate a little perspective?
