Today, I honor and celebrate two individuals on the production team for SPECTACLE.
As many of you know, our show began in the pandemic as a means for artists to collaborate and CREATE.
The collaboration began with John Souza: With experience in NYC on fashion shoots for directing and styling, he jumped right into the idea of the show. John's natural gift to execute a vision and his commitment to artistic themes brought so many unique episodes. Together, John and I did well-over half of SPECTACLE in partnership.
In video production, Jerry Nikolaev jumped in headfirst two years ago. The show had made its transition to high-quality, edited episodes (thank you, Chris!) and when asked to join the team, Jerry was more than willing. As the SPECTACLE progressed, Jerry naturally became a director and producer on top of being the cameraman capturing it all. As seen in the finale of the series, he was a true force in capturing the history yet to come...
The show first launched live here on Facebook for Halloween in 2020.
In over 27 episodes in four years, we ideated and captured one-of-a-kind artistic themes with various techniques, talent, and local settings. We had so many wonderful people participating in episodes that we developed extraordinary moments for the purpose of creating!
Our first major exposure was in March of 2023 where the show was featured in Film Daily for its "spellbound" pop-up photoshoots.
And, from all that the show captured, it documented an important event that served as a catalyst ...
In my Congressional Record honor, I am elated to inform you that SPECTACLE has been recorded into U.S. History in line with the resulting Proud in the Cloud.
From all of the time, effort, and commitment that collaborative members have put into this ongoing production...
...it has its FINAL resting place as a mark in U.S. history.
With many thanks to those who contributed and watched the show, I send my gratitude as it has literally changed my life.
