Dan & Jeannie Nocera For the past twelve years
Jeannie Nocera has been involved in television and film
production. Jeannie worked in Los Angeles for several years and
moved back home to Connecticut where she worked as an
independent producer for Connecticut Public Television. Most
recently she was a producer on “Main Street” a weekly news
magazine on CPTV. In January, 2004 Jeannie finished work on an
independent documentary film entitled “David Brown and the Hay
House” which, profiles the life of a painter and farmer from Old
Saybrook, and was an official selection at the Wine Country Film
Festival (Napa, California). The documentary also screened at
the Florence Griswold Museum in Connecticut as part of an
exhibit entitled "The Hay House: STEP RIGHT IN".
Dan Nocera has worked and taught in all areas
of media production for the past seventeen years. Dan has a B.A. in
Television Production from Ithaca College and a Master of Arts and
Liberal Studies with a concentration in film from Wesleyan’s Graduate
Liberal Studies Program. Currently Dan is the coordinator of the
Corporate Media Center at Middlesex Community College where he produces,
directs, and edits award-winning films (corporate, documentary,
fiction). He is also a skilled craftsman and educator of Video
Production, Advanced Editing, Audio Production, and Broadcast
Journalism. In 2005 Dan helped plan and set-up the videography lab at
Green Street Arts Center, and has continued to instruct students of all
ages there. A recent television ad he produced won three national awards
including a Telly, a Communicator, and a Gold Medallion. In 2006 he won
a Bronze Telly for a 90 minute Training DVD he directed and edited for
the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection.
Jeannie and Dan were married in 2003 and teamed
up to form SAMDOG Films L.L.C. Together they have produced several
documentaries and events including "Project CONN-cept: A Journey Towards
Quality Curriculum" an hour long documentary on a federally funded
curriculum project for the Connecticut Department of Education. Their
current project is “The Hay House and The Stupa” which is still in
production. It is a follow-up to “David Brown and the Hay House” and
documents the construction of a Stupa in Saybrook. They are also working
with Bluestar in Madison CT on documenting multiple free-form jams and
spiritual transmissions involving numerous musicians and elders from
around the world.
