Greetings!

I wanted to personally reach out to share something that I believe is truly important happening right here in our own town.

For years, I’ve worked to preserve and celebrate the creative spirit that makes this community unlike any other. But now, we have a chance to take that spirit further, to give Laguna’s artists, musicians, filmmakers, and storytellers a powerful voice that reaches the world.

We’re launching Laguna Beach TV, a community-powered station that captures the heart and history of Laguna through art, culture, and conversation. It’s a bold, independent step, one that will define how our stories are told for generations.

This isn’t funded by endowments or large institutions. It’s being built through the commitment of those who believe in the power of Laguna’s creative community, the same spirit that has always made this town so remarkable.

This is a rare opportunity, and it’s not guaranteed. What we’re building depends on what we do today. If we come together now, we can turn this vision into a lasting reality, one that reflects the very best of who we are as a community.

And really, when you think about it, we’re all sharing this brief, extraordinary moment together on this planet. What better time to reach for the stars, to come together, and create something meaningful and lasting for our town and for the world to see, something we can all look back on and be truly proud of.

If you’d like a clearer sense of the heart behind this effort, here are two short ways to see it come to life:

the home of Laguna Beach TV and the place where this vision is growing.

Watch our first pilot episode, 
Focus on Filmmaking: “The Road to Laguna,” 
for a glimpse of the kind of authentic, artist-driven programming 
this station will share with the world.

Most importantly, on Friday, November 22, we’re hosting the Laguna Beach TV Launch Party at the Laguna Beach Cultural Arts Center and this night will set everything in motion.


It’s more than a celebration; it’s the turning point, the moment our community comes together to officially ignite Laguna Beach TV and show the world what we can do when we unite around creativity and purpose. Your presence, your energy, and your support that night will make all the difference.


If you believe, as I do, that Laguna’s creative voice deserves to be heard, I hope you’ll not only join us but also invite a friend or two who shares that belief. The timing of this moment is critical, and together we can ensure its success for the artists, the storytellers, and for the town itself.



Even if you can’t attend, your encouragement or support will help this vision become reality.

With gratitude and conviction,
