It was a week of culture and community with a trip to COCA (Center of Creative Arts) to capture some beautiful footage for our friends at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.

But we were also hard at work “gearing up” with on-location shoots and long hours in the editing suites.

On Friday we welcomed the highly anticipated “Telephone” exhibit in the STL.org CURIOSITY space. Stay tuned for the upcoming Curated by CURIOSITY and experience it for yourself!

Curiosity counts. The latest STL.org Curated by Curiousity featured none other than the world-renowned artist phenomenon, Tom Huck-Evil Prints, with new work inspired by the infamous outlaws “Bonnie & Clyde.”

That’s what you missed…

Back at it midweek with gear inventory, studio organizing, and a surprise (but most welcomed) shoot on Friday. Re-entry post holiday season can be a challenge for some of us. 😉

But we still managed to keep it light with a birthday celebration for Jameson with an ice cream sundae 🍨and a bubble bath.🫧 Thanks to our Midtown Alley neighbors The Fountain on Locust for making it special. What a way to start the year!

Happy Snow ❄️ Day! Be safe out there.
