Before I was a soon-to-be self-published novelist, I was a radio, print, and cable TV journalist…

Pre-novelist days, here I am in a documentary I hosted and co-produced, “Dark Waters.”

Here’s a video that by my business partner at the time, David Hunt (who describes the event in additional detail here), and I won a Los Angeles Area Emmy Award for. Adam Yurman composed the haunting music for it. Earth Alert! funded it.

What a find — I thought it was lost!

Interviewees include Heal the Bay founding president/environmentalist Dorothy Green and marine biologist/environmentalist Rim Fay, Jr., along with former California senator Tom Hayden representative Cliff Gladstein and former California supervisor Dean Dana.

Back when it was made, we produced a documentary series, a talk show, and more for the cable TV station located in Hermosa Beach, CA, in addition to videos and commercials for small businesses. Once a show was produced, we’d ‘bicycle’ it, meaning we’d distribute copies of it to outlying cities to air on their channels.

In this episode, off-camera is an audience of passersby. Already nervous, the presence of onlookers made me borrow my partner’s jacket to calm my shivers despite the warm day.

Have you had your 5 minutes of fame yet?…

  3. “Willingness on the part of government” – yeah, where’s that? You have a beautiful speaking voice and you did a great job, Daal. I’m glad the film was found as the topic is still relevant and the problem still not resolved. An Emmy well deserved.

  7. daAl, That is so great to have accomplished something so big an an Emmy. I have never thought about writing a book, but it just came to me one night. I like the science fiction movies and shows. It was quite a task learning what I had to do to get it published. My husband got tired of me using his computer so he bought me a laptop. It took me a year to write the book and about eight months to get it published. It was an exciting time.
