Directed by former British Army Captain Martin Stitt, who served in Northern Ireland, "Family Jewels" paints a sensitive portrait of family life as a female soldier and mother of two young children prepares to deploy overseas. Stitt, is a recent AFI graduate and has written and directed several features.

The Alive Expo Green Pavilion is an Eco Luxury Gifting Suite, which attracts hundreds of celebrities & is produced by my good friend Kim Shimmel & her business partner Patrycja Siewert-Towns.

I used to co produce this event with them. It's both educational and fun! And you find out quickly which celebs really walk the 'eco' talk!

The event is also held in LA during the Emmy week & Oscar week.

Alive Expo Green Pavilion & Mix Media have a long standing relationship with The Creative Coalition.
