JANUARY/ FEBRUARY/MARCH It nice to see familiar faces on the set of; 'CHOPPED' {Season #3} As always the talent of the show 'Ted Allen' seems to be the best part of what makes a show a hit, not only is he a professional but also sits down with the crews and eats and TALKS as well as LISTENS to them, he understands quite a few people have dedicated themselves to this show and he is grateful. T.J Sansone is still a great director! A few people 'Including Loe Fahie' have been bumped up in the food chain from last year Season #2,we also have a new production company NOTIONAL (Thank-god) running the show on the FOOD NETWORK. As always I can't tell you any secrets about the show because we are still in production, but what I've seen so far tells me this show will be around for a while. WATCH IT! Check your local T.V listings

CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION
Anytime we do an assisignment at the Hammerstein Ballrooom I can't help but think about the person 'a few years back' who fell off the balcony durring a Christmas party and ended up on the first floor without spilling his drink (That takes alot of talent) Anyway all went well for MTV UPFRONT 2010 I'm sure VIACOM was very happy with the results no thanks to Tom Kennedy and his peeps ALSO Usher did a great job at entertaining the masses.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
What a great show 'So You Think You Can Dance'. Again my theory is correct, as long as you have the same personnel working behind the scenes at DANCE NATION PRODUCTIONS the show gets better every year. Excellent job by Alfajiri McDonald at getting all the pieces back to the puzzle 'once again' The auditions being held in NYC and the Bronx can't get any better then the people who do the try-outs and this years show looks better then last years with some great dancing and some surprises!!
Thanks again Steve/Jeanne
Its nice to see our California division is busy making movies, its even nicer when the movies come to New York via California. NEW peeps at Zweibel Worldwide Productions have a new contact here in NY as per Gregg Speigelman, all went well for Elizabeth Garnett and company even if we did have to shoot in a dilapadated location. We all had a blast.
Thanks Steven/Jeanne

I guess when you look at it thats part of the job. Its funny to see how they eat, talk on the radio and walk to the next destination while someone is talking to them explaining that 'Another situation just came up!' What television needs its a reality show about them! See you all in Hollywood and thanks for letting us be part of the mayhem.
Thanks again Steve/Jeanne

August

(make sure the help don't leave any sharp objects on top of ladders next time....you can loose an eye that way)
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
July
Just want to thank Left/Right Inc. for our new adventure in Staten Island. Nikki Cruz did a swell job considering how hot it was on the set of ; "I Want To Work For Diddy" I'm glad everyone had plenty of water!! Its a funny thing, the last time we shot in Staten Island we were working a movie called 'Diggers' and the thing I remember most of all was the swamp. {De-ja-vu}
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
Back for Season 2; "I Want To Work For Diddy" is off to a flying start in our home base at Ft. Totten. Nikki Cruz from Left/Right Inc. is doing a swell job...only 30 more days left, Next stop The loft and then Pedicab races in Styvesant town NYC,and then who knows??

May Sometimes a celebrity does something really cool..so congradulations to Joan Rivers on winning the 'CELEBRITY APPRENTICE' Miss Rivers won 250,000 dollars towards her favorite charity which was "GODS LOVE WE DELIVER" It was nice seeing Donald Trump,Andrew Dice Clay,Tom Green,Scott Hamilton,Claudia Jordan and Dennis Rodman all of them were very nice to us little people (I think the closest I'll ever get to becoming a billionaire was standing next to Donald Trump for a few minutes) What a trip!!! By the way great job Douglas Baker,Lynn &Cindy show went off without any disasters. and Donald looked pretty happy! I'm sure the bosses at REILLY WORLDWIDE noticed that too
Thanks Steve/Jeanne

April
Working on the set of the FOOD NETWORKS show 'CHOPPED' second season "Congradulations" Loe Fahie (You must be good-luck! Either that or you work real hard or MAYBE its a little bit of both) This is an on-going assignment so I can't tell you too much (I'm not allowed) but what I can tell you is Ted Allen is a perfect host for the show AND when one of the production assistants moms came to visit, Ted was so kind that he got the mom into the control room to watch some of the taping in progress. I still have faith in humanity thanks to Mr.Allen.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne

Thanks Steve/Jeanne

This is starting to become a game of 'DARE' So far we haven't missed an assignment! Another last minute call to"Make Me a Super Model" with Aaron Butkus and TIGER ASPECT USA. You know I just realized everytime I mention this assignment to my Medic/EMT's they never give me a problem (Its the name of the show ) Silly me.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
Sometimes I amaze myself.... Whenever TIGER ASPECT USA calls for a medic its usually because they need one yesterday. So far we have not missed one assignment...we have covered 4 north eastern states with practically 'no notice other then a few hours' Actually its not me its the personnel I have that pretend I know what the hell I'm doing.....don't ask...if it gets done..its done..Thanks guys
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
2 Assignments in a row from MTV Networks? I guess Sydney Fisher and the staff miss us, This is the 3rd assignment in the past month that we had to work with animals. "REAL ones" I like the place CECO Studios....good place for a movie shoot.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
We missed working for MTV Networks especially Pauline Koffman from Special events! Nice to see you all again.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne

Special thanks to all those Medics/EMT's working for STARLITE in the past...it seems we have become popular all of a sudden,we have also made the right decision on a few assignments (WE DID NOT COVER DAVID BLAINE) So lets start off with the Food Network and there new show called CHOPPED, I would like to thank our loyal production manager Loe Fahie from City Lights Television who has employed a lot of us during this economic 'burp' You are the best!!!!!
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
Its nice to be working with very talented PRETTY ladies...so when we get a call from Aaron Butkus st TIGER ASPECT USA to work with "MAKE ME A SUPER MODEL" we usually ask ; So How high do you want us to jump?
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
You know we started with MTV Networks over 10 years ago and when we don't get any assignments we get a little worried 'Maybe they don't like us anymore?' Its sort of like a withdrawl thing......So it was nice to hear from Erin Mills For us to cover the Hip Hop Awards this week. Don't be a stranger!
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
September
Just like to thank all those nice people at http://www.pepcom.com/ there 'South of the Boarder' theme was a hit with the press,everybody walked away with an authentic Mexican sombrero made in Mexico not China, along with other little goodies the companiesprovided free of charge! ('Thats called;SWAG' 'Mark Silverstein' from THE BEST OF would have loved this place) Michelle Crissy and Heather Vidulich you both looked as pretty as ever! Jon Pepper and Chris O'Malley picked the right caterers ''The stuffed HOT peppers were excellent' see you in a few months
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
 Sometimes a good/GREAT show is hatched by a Mad Scientist like "John" and his director, whats better is that they had the good sense of working a scene without a script,I mean basic lines, but the rest is totally spontaneous sort of like an old 'Saturday Night Live' before it started to suck "Why is that show still on the air???" Anyway lookout for "RAGE CAGE" on ADULT SWIM/CARTOON NETWORK I don't want to say to much and spoil it all I can say is watch it!! Very funny!! Also great job by these great people from Steve,Vanessa,Neil,Manny,Joanna,Jaequeline Marie,John & Smokey. Its been a pleasure working with you.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
 "Axe me another question pretty bird"
August
{Everybody is on vacation including us}
July
Every once in a while a monkey wrench is thrown into the crock pot..this assignment was one of them..... Luckily I always have a continginency for those 'Just in Cases' I learned that from working at NYC FDNY/EMS Sometimes nothing ever goes as planned... First; Gillian Blackman from MTV is the best! Second; Eddie and his partner get a gold star for coming thru. VHI SAVE THE MUSIC in Sag Harbor,Long Island,New York Turned out to be a great event...thanks for keeping the faith Gillian.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
Its nice to work with those returning clients {that are super cool} like City Lights Television and Loe Fahie Its a very hot day to work but...we got the shots in for Style High...Your the best!!!!

Thanks Steve/Jeanne

You know I just had to check out the filming of City Lights television show "Iron Autospy" on the Travel Channel so I decided to pay a visit. This was the smartest thing I did in a long time..... I got to see president Franklin D. Roosevelts presidental rail car underneith the Waldorf Astoria. I was in the lowest point underground in NYC 'Grand Central Terminal' Generator room Metro north' and Grand Central Stations Clock above 42nd Street. The host of the Show Frank Carfaro has a lot of guts when it came to risking injury for the sake of the show. Jason Beauregard the director did what he could do in those tight spaces and always got the shot!!
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
May
I never knew how historic the Hearst building was on West 57th Street,I guess when you have that much money you build a building in New York (anybody still remember Patty Hearst??) our second location was the Roosevelt Island Tram (anybody remember when a few people got stuck mid-way years back??) well anyway..it was great working with Loe Fahie and City Lights Television on the new show 'Iron Autospy' WE will be watching...super cool show!!!
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
Special thanks to Marianne Shanley for her wonderful work on "MTVN MTVN Ultimate ROI" at the Nokia Theater it looked like everybody was happy. U R the best!!

Okay....before I begin I would like to say this assignment has to be one of the hardest ones we ever did "I hope we don't get sued" bottom line is Starlite Medical covered all the injuries, and there were quite a few! Did I forget to tell you the name of the show???? Try JACKASS 24 HOUR TAKEOVER it was also 'LIVE" from NYC. We also did filming prior to the show in different locations in NYC, at this point I could write a few pages on this assignment...BUT I decided against it...I really don't know what to write, other then Don't try any of the stunts performed....REALLY!!!! Great job Trip Taylor,without you I have no idea where that show would have went (You have to win some kind of award Trip for being the Executive Producer of JACKASS) And Chris Palmer..what can I say???? Other then being the best Director of Risk Services person I ever met. Its taken me 2 days to wind down from that event, believe it or not it was fun.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
Working at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn can be very hazardous to your health especially if your working underwater with Boa -constrictors {Actually the snake was very friendly..his name is "Lemon" by the way} All I can say is the show; Make Me A Supermodel looks pretty interesting...good luck and great job Joyce Covello.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne

Working the 2008 Tila Tequila's New Years Eve Masquerade in the studio at 1515 Broadway was as good as its ever going to get for this cowboy!! Nothing like being above the crowd at Times Square on New Years Eve. Enough about me....Great job by Sandy Pan and Katie Coco getting everything together and making sure everone behaves themselves (Listen its LIVE TV!!!! After the show is over, you can get trashed, BUT not on Live TV ....Not yet anyway, BUT we are working on it.) Outstanding performances by Kid Rock,Mary J. Blige,Wyclef,Paramore,Flo rida and Cobra Starship posting some pictures of the crowd soon.
Thank-you Steve/Jeanne
Looks like Randy Jackson from American Idol will be getting his own TV show on MTV Networks in the beginning of 08. It was amazing watching the dancers and acrobats filming "And Flipping" the promo for the show. By the way, great job Ryan Loftus and Sean Linehan for getting us all to the location, "We would never have found the old abandon warehouse off 52nd street in Bklyn if it weren't for your directions"
Thanks Steve/Jeanne

Thanks Steve/Jeanne

November
I never realized how difficult it is to work a computer! These days they keep updating the system all the time, thats what empresses me when we work with PEPCOM.COM doing there conventions across the country, its a computer haven and a technology orgy!!! Its great how the girls Heather and Crissy do all the heavy lifting while the computer wizzards hook up all the hardware (They really make it look easy...its NOT) Chris and Jon are great coordinating all the BIG technology companies under one roof.....now thats talent!!!!
Thanks again Steve/Jeanne

October
"Is that somebody looking over your shoulder?????" BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Halloween
Well this was the first time 'STARLITE' handled cross country assignments for a client, All went surprising well at the MGM in Las Vegas (we should have added this NATIONWIDE services years ago) What I would like to say is PEPCOM.COM is cool...and boy.... do they have pretty ladies for them!!!!! I would like to thank our Las Vegas Medics (Bruce Stewart) for an outstanding job!!! and who can forget the girl with the prettiest name in the world "it fits her perfectly" Michelle Crissy. See you back in New York next month
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
Alot of times I don't get a chance to thank my MEDICS/EMT's but THIS TIME I would like to thank Steve Smith for that last minute booking he made for; Remote Productions {because I forgot to change the answering machine message 'It still says we are in Orlando'} Brian Ticher what can I say "You work great under presure" ALSO thanks Keith Haskel. Anyway Nice to see; MTV's 'Human Giant' is back for a second season and it was a trip working at the 'Douglas House' in Orangeburg,NY.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne

Steve/Jeanne
Whats great about the MTV 'HIP HOP' Honors this year was it was also connected to the; 'Music for Children Foundation' so a lot of the talent showed up 'Salt n Pepa' and 'Ice Cube' Anyway great job Gillian.
Thanks
Steve/Jeanne
So here we are on 5th ave again FERN FILMS, weather is GREAT considering we are in October. The best part of this whole assignment was we didn't have to worry about parking . Tanya Kateri you out did yourself again!!!
Thanks
Steve/Jeanne
September
Nice to see Michael Imperioli again on the this assignment, it was pretty cool also to hear from Tanya Kateri from FERN FILMS asking us to work in NYC after 7 pm (We can actually get a parking space at that time) seems the weather is holding out for those outside film shoots, so I guess everyone is talking advantage while they can...
Thanks again Steve/Jeanne
First of all VH1 Save The Music Foundation 10th Anniversary gala turned out to be one of the best assignments we ever worked (For free I might add) Its such a great concept,money to purchase musical instruments for children who can't afford them. I'd like to start off with a 'THANKS' to John Sykes who started this foundation 10 years ago, and with the help of many other talented individuals & Musicians. Some people who attended this years event were Former President William Jefferson Clinton,John Mayer,Jon Bon Jovi,Roger Waters,Conan O'brien,Mayor Michael Bloomberg,Paul Shaffer and Mariah Carey now thats pretty cool right???? Well lets not forget the kids in the Student Orchestra; Roderick Littleton,Sergio Vazquez,Michael Stuckey,Hank Born,Wilton White and Mandisha Wells also performing were Kipp Academy & Marine Park School, Boy... were they fantastic!!!!!!A few Cliff notes that I thought was ironic is the song performed by Roger Waters; "Another brick in the wall" remember the lyrics?? (We don't need no education) That was hysterical considering the NYC School Chancellor Joel Stein was in attendence but on the other hand Jon Bon Jovi fan/stalker was also in attendence, listen it was all in good fun and nobody got there eye poked out. Gillian Blackman did a wonderful job and it was also nice to see David Fernandez, but the best part "for me" was my photo with Paul Shaffer (4 years ago I was working the 34th annual Songwriters award ceremony and was about to get with when I realized there was nobody around to take the picture (That really busted my bubble) Anyway Paul said "Next time I promise" So here we are 4 years later and I run into him again and told him the story "He actually remembered" so his wife who accompanied him took a picture of us....pretty cool story.... huh?????)
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
The one thing I love about computer conventions is all the cool NEW toys being demonstrated that will coming out for the up and coming Christmas/Holiday season, Can anyone say; "HDTV 3-D TELEVISION!!!" Yep......its right around the corner. Anyway just wanted to say what a great job PEPCOM.com did in promoting the event, Chris O'Malley and Jon Pepper were on site to make everything run smooth as glass 'They are actually nice bosses' and we can't forget Michelle Crissy and Heather Vidulich for there tireless aproach to making things work out in a crazy environment AND looking great at the same time!!!
Thanks again Steve/Jeanne
You know one of my favorite comedians EVER (And chances are its yours too) is Jerry Seinfeld and when you get a chance to work with him, well............ let me put it to you this way...its like being a kid all over again. The New York METS also were in the Promo shots for the animated movie 'THE BEE' in which Jerry plays the voice of the BEE, but like all production assignments without the people in the backround that make the movie work like; Vem,Marco,Laurie Bernal, Brant Kantor,Spencer and Zeus Morand there would be no GREAT movie... This is going to be a blockbuster 'Trust me' the kids are going to love this Movie!!!!!! (Me..... included) Alot of funny things happen on the set; Crazy man wants to sue because he is in the shot,Jerry gets to walk on the grass at Shea stadium but we can't, a Boston fan is 90 feet away from where history was made in 1986 'Go look it up' and we keep reminding him every 15 minutes,Antenna on BEE bus falls off on 23rd Street, Bee attacking crew members in parking lot.....but nobody wants to kill it 'Bad Omen', bottom line is the ARTIST COMPANY did a superb job getting us all together, the chemistry worked!! THATS REALLY WHAT MAKES A GREAT MOVIE 'TEAMWORK' "Stars are included in this one'
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
August
Considering the Meteorologist were steadfast on predicting thunderstorms today...we got lucky!!! I could see Nina Froriep from CLOCKWISE PRODUCTIONS did a superb job coordinating the logistics and personnel to the "T" Clint and Carlie helped with those spotanious mis- communications before they became bigger and disastraus. Bottom line was the SWISS NATIONAL DAY 2007 event went smooth as glass!!! The stage program was sponsored by SWISS HELVETIA and the kids & adults got a laugh from Gardi Hutter "Swiss Famous Clown", The band 'String Equinox' was great along with the yodeling, Ted Schlosberg was pretty cool playing the Alphorn horn, food was excellent thanks to Patina Restaurant Group and last but not least H.E. Ambassador Christoph Bubb,Consul General of Switzerland did a great job too being the M.C for the event. There are just so many people I can mention without starting to sound like I'm advertising BUT since this assignment went so well I'll make it quick; Beat & Ruth Waser,Claude Solliards the Swiss Ski Club & Swiss Air.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
There is a lot of people to thank at RUMINATE PRODUCTIONS #1......Michael DeRoker from has been a real pro getting us all together for the filming of "FOR JUST ONE MORE DAY" starring Michael Imperioli.

Special thanks goes to Scott Tenney From American Medical Response in Norwalk ,CT and....."Drum roll please" Alexsis Arnold for being there late on a Friday night trying to let everyone know there call times for Monday morning....YOUR THE BEST!!!!!!!

Its sometimes amazing watching a Movie/TV set being built So in this particular assignment I have to congratulate the carpenters and stage hands for there excellent work in putting together the set for MTV's; UNPLUGGED for BON JOVI being taped on 6/5..(When your 30 feet up and trying to line cable on a scaffold, the work can be a little dangerous) although all those 'tonka toys' helped the crew up and down safely they were times that they had to climb...and for that I want to thank you all for wearing your safety lines!!!! Great job guys!!!!! Also we have to thank Ryan Loftus and Mara Soucie along with Nichole Salamak and Christine West 'Who is from out west' What a team keep up the good work!!!!

Too many cool thinks happened at the MTV 24 hour 'Human Giant' Telethon !!!!! I will point out Rob Huebel Jason Woliner Aziz Ansari & Paul Scheer just might have a hit on ther hands!!! The creative breakdown for this whole thing was pretty much improvised, it was great!!!! ALSO I can't forget MTV's Sandy Pan and Cece from; 'Go Ahead Make My Dinner' The band 'The Nationals' was outstanding, and if weren't for "The Shadow" I think the whole thing would have fallen apart
psst.....you want to know there secret the the 'Human Giant' success?????
*****Total improvisation, spontantity, a bottle of Jack Daniels and angry e-mail reguarding Adam Walsh.
Thanks Steve/Jeanne

"Holy IPOD speakers Batman!!!"

Nice to see our friends again at; (Drum roll, please........) DANCE NATION PRODUCTIONS For season #3 of "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!!!" I really can't tell you too much about the contestants. "Because the show has not aired yet" The open audition will be in a few more cities before heading back to L.A
Jeff was pretty smooth as one of the judges narrowing down those 1000 plus people auditioning at the Hammerstein Ballrom NYC for the past 3 days..'a few notables':
**Girl back flipping off the stage (Almost giving me a heart attack) **Jewish hip-hopper (Yarmuka and all) **Female Contestant who pulls a suprise out from under her shirt ( HINT; NOT her breast)
So without me giving away anything 'You'll have to watch!!!' I'd like to thank Nicole Velasco,Ashley,Simon and Mike 'The traveling security bodyguard' for letting us be part of this Dick Clark Production "We hope Mr.Clark will be back for New Years Eve 2008" ****By the way...was that Spike Lee in the elevator heading up to the studio on the 8th floor????

Scene went off well only 5 takes and 20 different camera angles Great work kid...nerves of steel at 12 !!!!! {Now go change your shorts}
Thanks Stacey for trusting us AND the stunt driver

JANUARY
You know after doing this 'Part-time' job for over 5 years now I always wanted to do one thing "Besides be a star in my own T.V Comedy Drama action adventure series" and that was to work for SILVERCUP STUDIOS well I got my wish......Thanks Sydney Stockton.& Alexis Arnold. 15 hours of being on location underneath the Brookly bridge on a cold blustery December Sunday filming the TV Pilot "KIDNAPPED" was really COOL, It was so COOL we got to do it 5 more times in Manhattan & back to Brooklyn and then off to SILVERCUP STUDIOS EAST ANYWAY....... great work by Deanna Kelly and Bellamy Forrest on getting those scenes shot with the cast of 'KIDNAPPED' Jeremy Sisto,Timmothy Hutton,Dana Delany,Will Denton,Michael Mosley etc.. ALSO I have to take my hat of to Actor/Stuntman 'in the scene above' Gene Harrison who is great playing the cop with the gun!! EVEN though the gun had blanks in it...we all jumped everytime a round went off....I'm not as tough as I thought I was. Speaking of 'tough', the last day on the set yours truly 'ME' worked the assignment at SILVERCUP STUDIOS EAST I was in charge of the medical aspect of 2 stuntmen being 'blown up'. GREAT WORK Jeff Dowell and AAron Vexler as the SWAT team
"How many times did the ceiling fall on you guys durring the explosion??? I think it was five times.....and still no headache???" and YES we can't forget the 'Stunt Coordinator' Blaise Corrigan.... without you I guess they would have REALLY been blown to pieces.
Thanks again Steve/Jeanne
2005
The MTV Christmas party went off without a hitch.... which is a "good thing" (as Martha would say) All I have to say is; If I'm ever going to have a Christmas Party I want David Fernandez running it because he is the king of parties 'I think he actually has bail money on stand-by just in case' he covers every base and even has a alternitive plan just in case something falls thru and most of all he does it without breaking a sweat.. AND yes he does have all his P.A's which are importent BUT without a good coach you can't have a good team...right!!! LETS GO METS!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve/Jeanne/Luis/Craig
2005
You know years ago 'Not THAT long ago" I used to watch one of Martha Stewarts shows and always thought she was pretty cool making all that neat stuff Like: "How to make a great turkey dinner for thanksgiving" ANYWAY Mary Therese and Robin Homel are important people when it comes to the show actually working working AND we can't forget Oscar...what would we do without him!!!! We all loved the 'Smart Water' which really dosen't make you smart but it does (You know what it does) After speaking to a few people on the set I was informed that one of my old partners was on a previous show, Paramedic Martha Stewart was on last weeks show {when the whole audience names were Martha Stewarts} so that was cool. I got a big kick out of Nick and Robert being on the show and actually smiling when introduced by Martha Stewart...all the pregnant audience seemed to approve, And seeing Jennifer Garner made us all want to move to Hollywood and become a star "Love her in the show ALIAS", and 'YES' she is married to Ben Affleck and she is ALSO due to have a little edition to her family...
Great show and nice to see you back Martha 'REALLY' and it was fun working those dates 9/14,9/20 & 10/04 and Happy Birthday Martha Stewart's Mom
Steve/Jeanne
2005
One of these days I'm going to write a screenplay or something!!! I mean come-on being part of a new MTV show called "Call To Greatness" for 7 days straight 9/28-10/04 was enough!!! But getting to hear the stories from the EMT's and Medics doing the assignments made me wonder if I have MY priorities in order, in any case Jennifer will be the reason for the shows success, I mean with all that pizza flying around the smashed guitars and the worm eating going on at CBGB's how can this possibly NOT be a Television hit with the kids!!!!! Good luck to 'Rock the Mohawk Entertainment' and hope to see your guys keep breaking records all over the country EVEN if they are insane records.
Thanks Again Steve/Jeanne
2005
I always said 'One day I'm going to make a movie about the cast ands crew MAKING a movie' after working with COMBUSTIBLE FILMS on this last assignment I think I found the perfect cast......Special thank-you to 'Marissa' at BLOWBACK PRODUCTIONS for giving us the assignments on 8/04,8/12,8/13/and 8/18 for the movie THE HOUSE IS BURNING a lot of things were learned like; A. How to flip a car doing 40 mph 'compliments of 'Janet' the stunt driver B. Freight trains with 125 box cars takes 18.5 Minutes to pass C.a good 'Line Producer' like Kendall McCarthy' is essential to having the rain stop on cue
ALSO many thanks to Hawthorne Ambulace Corp for ther excellent work { 'Kim and Lisa we couldn't do it without you!!! } Fire Cheif Joe Spernza thanks for the call and Phylis you'll be in the next movie Hawthone Police Depatment you are the best cops I've seen in a while AND the Honorable MAYOR Fred J. Criscitelli thanks for letting us borrow your town for a few hours. In closing this I would like to say people like 'Kitt' who works behind the scene are the secret to a good movie and Bill Cress from CRESS PHOTO 'retired from United Artist after 25 years I might add' thanks for your talent over those years....(you still have it by the way)
See you all at the Academy Awards

2005
Every once in a while we do get those last minute calls that turn out to be a pleasure to work on....so was the case for the assignment we had this past July 18 in Staten Island For 'Digger Films LTD' I always said; "If I never worked for FDNY I always wanted to be in show business..." Well this proves why!!!! I can't say enough without 'kissing butt' but the cast and crew on the set were one of the best if not THE BEST, I have ever worked with.{Sometimes I wonder if you can make a movie about the people making the movie!!!) Everyone from 'Crafty' to Scott and Jeff Lazar To Sean 'I love that shirt' to Anne, and especially Chris Barnes AND whoever picked 'Beeson Carroll' to play the 'old man' all I can say is THAT person is a genius!!!!!!
See you in Hollywood !!!!!!!!
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
2005
Sometimes a lot of our regular 'Set Medics/EMT's' are not able to do a show due to other obligations 'Including ME' So it was nice to have one of my partners from FDNY to fill in for 2 dates. 'Big Dave' had the shock of his life when his assignment brought him to RUBY FALLS in NYC. VIACOM new channel LOGO looks to be a sucess All I have to say 'Big Dave' is ;"Great Job and welcome to the entertainment business!!!"
Thanks again Steve/Jeanne
You know sometimes I wonder; "Can we all be THAT talented???????" after being on the site for MTV LABS TALENT SHOW (June 20) I could not help but wondering if I 'personally' had any 'Star Quality' BUT after watching 'Opera Joe' win the show I figured I should keep my day job!!!
It was such a pleasure working at BB Kings and the Guest /Judges Joe Piscopo,MC Lite,DMC and Rodney Hawkins were the best and it was a real treat seeing Gilbet Godfried and Joe reminisse about the old 'Saturday Night Live'......Sometimes I forget what a great show that really was {thanks for reminding me}
Thanks Steve/Jeanne
2005
Its nice being on the set once again at MTV Studios for a licensing party in Mid-town Manhattan (June 21) and when you hear that familiar voice on the radio and its David Fernandez you know that if there are ANY 'glitches' during show...they have NO CHANCE being televised....

MTV Thank-you Jane McGivena for running a great 'Special Event' at 'Rockefeller Center' June 23rd You had a lot of ground to cover 'Rock Center Cafe' 'Summer Garden' and 'Sea Grill'. I think Job qualifying skills for people like you should include 'rollerblade and tele-transportation' how else can you be in 3 places at the same time???? Good work Jane Thanks for having us as part of the crew
