Name Robin
About Me When asked where I come from, I reply the Northeast United States. If pressed further, I allow Maryland, New York and Vermont. Lived with both parents for the first six years, with mom the next six years and with dad the six years after that. When I was 18 I moved to NYC and went to film school, and then worked in the independent film scene for a few years, but moved over to theater/live music for more regular pay. I did ritzy events, like the Giorgio Armani / Gio perfume release party, and numerous fashion shows in Manhattan, glamourous weddings on Long Island, pipe-n-drape trade shows on the three passenger piers on the West Side Highway, corporate meetings in the ballrooms of midtown hotels, live music in Prospect Park and in a 150 year old brownstone cathedral in Brooklyn Heights. I met the woman of my dreams when I was 30 and 5 years later we made a baby together. One day, after 9/11 I came home and looked at the bars on the windows (standard on ground floor apartments in Brooklyn) and the baby-gates in the doorways, and I thought of how we strapped our child into a stroller or backpack carrier, and there was no vast expanse of grass that didn’t have broken glass embedded just below the surface. I thought: my baby is in a prison! So we relocated to Vermont, where I joined the stagehands union, bought a nice video camera, went on tour as projection tech for a bulgarian opera company, directed a 4-camera live TV remote truck, installed interactive AV gear in various museums, run the smallest public access TV station in the state, and have a multimedia company. Now my days are spent in a blurred frenzy, one day I am the sole operator of a 3-camera live select board meeting, the next I am babysitting a 12K lumen projector for a DVD screening at Dartmouth, the next I am shooting b-roll footage, the next I take the girls to ballet rehearsal (they are in the Nutcracker). Monday Stephanie has her radio show so I am usually home with Errol doing housework, the next day we meet with Jerome to discuss MemoirSite and in the evening I go to the TV station to edit select board meetings and make DVDs, and the last day of my week I might edit some concert or wedding footage. So that’s a little bit about me.
