Saratoga's Own Newman

"Mr. Newman, oh Paul, it's me!" Remember me! The videographer who worked closely with you a few years back at Double H Resort"? (God, what an ego I have. What the hell was I thinking?)

"Oh, sure, sure, I remember". He feigns a look of recognition then continues on his way to meet the kids who deserve real recognition and attention.

Paul Newman has a summer camp in Lake Luzerne, Adirondacks that's visited by several hundred physically and mentally disabled children from all over the country. Every year he pays the place a special visit to raise funding, awareness and meet the locals that help preserve it. His extraordinary charity has brought out the best in so many high profile people in the Capital District and we're truly fortunate to have him and so many other celebrity figures tied to the area. This summer a half-hour show that PilotGirl Productions has shot with Luzerne Productions for several months now will finally make air. It highlights the camp and the incredible work the staff and program coordinators do for the children, with hopes of finding another "Paul Newman" to take over where he's leaving off.

Not-for-profit work is the only line of work that feels 100% satisfying and doubly rewarding. Between Double H, St.Judes and Sean'sRun, I intend to make it my mission to cater to all 700 charity organizations by the end of the year. No other shoots (documentary, news, travel, sports, weddings) are nearly as gratifying. Now, time to kick back and enjoy "Road to Perdition" one more time.
