Combining
a rich background in the creative arts with countless opportunities to hone the
craft of storytelling, Slicing Light
Productions was built on founder Jonathan Brock's experiences in
windowless post-production edit bays in the early 2000's. Thousands of hours
editing IMAX trailers, documentaries, bonus features, reality television and
award shows continuously challenged him to meet a very wide spectrum of
stylistic demands. Over time he developed a deep sense how to universally
approach any story and custom tailor it to fit the exact needs of his clients.
Among many other components of a hard won skill set learning the language of the
target audience have been among the most important elements he's found in
producing successful video for a broad range of clientele.

September 18 - Tom Johnstone
Tom
Johnstone is a member of the Westchester Rotary Club. He will
speak to us about Youth Protection, a requirement of Rotary International in
order to work with young people including Rotaracts. To the best of their
ability, Rotary members, their partners, and other volunteers must safeguard the
children and young people with whom they come into contact and protect them from
physical, sexual, and psychological abuse.
Rotary is a leadership organization made up of local business, professional and civic leaders who meet
regularly to get to know each other, form friendships and, through that, get things done in our local community. Rotary is the world's
oldest and largest service organization (founded in 1905).
