Hands On St. Nick - A Makeover
St. Nicholas Family Clinic
1901 Kentucky Ave.
8:00 am - 6:00 pm
Come help us give this 20 year old organization a NEW LOOK! Help us paint, clean, organize and create a welcoming environment for our patients and the community.

Specific needs include: taping & mudding supplies, paint & artwork groupings, rugs, blinds & plants/interior foliage, soft fluorescents, baby changing station (x2), office organizers, L-shape desk, chairs, coffee tables, flooring – wood laminate & vinyl or tile, and volunteers.

Having served almost 7,000 patients since opening in 1994, St. Nicholas Family Free Clinic has made a significant impact on the health of our community and region. We are looking forward to giving back to the clinic by recruiting local businesses and volunteers to help lay new floors, freshen the walls with new paint, and organize the space for people to be proud of. Featuring JLF Interior Designs.

Phocus Media returns to Paducah’s 48 HR Film Project…and brings their broom

Phocus Media pulled out a repeat sweep of this year’s 48 Hour Film Project Awards last Thursday night at Maiden Alley Cinema.  (Full disclosure - this is MY TEAM!)

The 48 Hour Film Project challenges novice filmmakers to create a film from start to finish in just 48 hours.  A total of 14 teams competed in this year’s project (with 12 turning in a completed film by deadline), and all were shown at three sold out performances leading up to the awards on August 26.  With most of Phocus Media’s winning cast and crew returning from last year, Director Jonathan Warren felt good about this year’s competition, but knew another win certainly wasn’t a given.  “The competition was stiffer this time and after the first screening I was worried about some of the other entries, but in the end we pulled it out.  It is an honor for a town the size of Paducah to even host this project and I look forward to seeing the level of this competition advance even more next year.” Warren said.


And stiff compeition it was.  Films of note include the hilarious audience favorite “3 Wise Monkeys” by Provision Productions, multiple award winner “Self Help Sherlock” from Pixel Pear,  and youth made film “The Grass is Greener” by Metal Mouth Productions, a team of 12-13 year old area gals.

Original Phocus Media team members returning from last year include:  Jonathan Warren, Curt Stewart, Melanie Myers Hawes, Michael Driver, Chuck Sexton, Laura K Thornton (yours truly) and Drew Swim.  Additional crew and cast were added this year via several sources including a casting call held in the weeks prior to the competition.
