Producing Course Dave Segal Lab Specialist: Episodic & Field Production I am a self proclaimed world culture documentarian. I am a story teller, a producer and photographer. I have had the privilege to document some of the greatest talents of all time. My goal is that my imagery truly tells the whole story one frame at a time. As an independent artist and producer, I created BOOTLEG TELEVISION, an art and music variety television program focusing on the promotion of independent artistry. I understand there is great talent out there that will never be discovered, so his mission is to shine light upon these visionaries and give them the exposure they deserve. "There is talent everywhere you look." When I am not working, I like to surf, and skate. I love live music, concerts and festivals. I am a dog lover and an occasional tree hugger.
