A Video Diary from Iraq (2009)
Film (Documentary) Producer Ralphie May was the first entertainer the President asked to travel into Iraq to perform for the US and Allied Troops. During his trip, he was given access to everything he requested. Its a gripping story told up close and real. The news was pretty explicit however, this film provides some of the extreme close ups that have made permanent impressions on all the troops who served there. Written by Michael Adams Brookings

FireHouse TV (2004)
Television (Action and Reality-TV) Producer Firehouse TV is the first reality show of its kind; a compelling behind the scenes look at the lives of firefighters. Most of us see firefighters on the 11 o'clock news, usually faceless behind heavy protective gear and helmets. They are the quiet heroes, and their lives are often fascinating and inspirational. Ryan Sutter, probably the country's most recognizable firefighter due to his winning the hit reality TV show "The Bachlorette", and also for his spokesperson work with the Firefighter's National Trust hosts each episode. Ryan is one of those amazing people who is movie-star good looking, is smart (he's an architecture major), is an accomplished painter and writer, and even did a stint in the NFL. But ask Ryan who he is, he'll quickly say, "I am a fireman". The bond of firefighters is not easily broken. You never stop being a firefighter. Firehouse TV is more than just an Emergency-Call program. Unlike "Cops", where cameras only document the gritty detail of anonymous cops ... Written by Bloom, Michael A
