This is at the former Independence Regional Health Center on the 5th floor, which is still in it’s former state.  I shot this today for a piece that will air on KCPT’s Local Show next Thursday April 14th at 7:30 so tune in!

It was an honor to shoot some wonderful interviews to honor a woman named Joan Berkley who is receiving the Vision Action award. I am lovin’ my new 60d!

Here are some pictures and stills from the shoot!

This video was a lot of fun to do! I did all of the editing and motion graphics. The photography is by Rush Wade.

The latest piece I collaborated with Anthony Ladesich on was written about on Tony KC’s blog!

Food for the Soul from Cara Myers on Vimeo.
The Kansas City Community Kitchen at 8th and Paseo in Kansas City offers a very warm and welcoming setting to Kansas City’s hungry and serves thoughtfully prepared, healthy food. Designed by Jennifer Bertrand of Olathe Kansas, winner of HGTV’s 2008 Design Star, this community kitchen offers a beautiful setting to all who enter. Look and see what remarkable things the Episcopal Community Services are doing in this place!

In the making, Tony and I wrote and directed this piece together for KCPT. Tony was the DP, and I shot my first handful of shots on the 7d as well! (What a cool camera.) I headed up post production, though we both crafted the story together.

It aired Thursday December 23rd on the Local Show.
