Ice Cream Dreams...

When I was a kid I loved ice cream and radio drama.&nbsp; My dad explained to me that no one did radio drama anymore, they hadn't done since he was a kid, and that perhaps I was born in the wrong time period.&nbsp; One of the joys of my life was proving him wrong.&nbsp; For 5 years I produced the SYFY Channel's SEEING EAR THEATRE website, a home for new forms of audio theater.&nbsp; This was during the first dot-com boom.&nbsp; At our peek we were creating a new full-cast drama with sfx and original music every single week.&nbsp; We worked with some wonderful talent.&nbsp; Most Brooklyn-based.&nbsp; Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Paul Giamatti, others.&nbsp; Then I moved on, produced and directed audio books for Random House, Harper Audio, Penguin Putnam, etc.&nbsp; After that, I worked as a screenwriter for a number of years, writing a couple of TV movies for SYFY Channel.&nbsp; Gems like ALIEN EXPRESS starring Lou Diamond Phillips and Todd Bridges (yes, Todd!) as agents battling aliens on a runaway train.&nbsp; There was also FLU BIRDS about giant killer birds, but then you could probably guess that from the title.&nbsp; As you can imagine, I didn't quite break through to summer-blockbuster material...&nbsp; <br><br>It's taken a long time, but I've finally come back around to that other first love:&nbsp; ice cream.&nbsp; I love making ice cream.&nbsp; It can be wildly creative.&nbsp; It's like soup.&nbsp; There are endless possibilities and combinations to explore.&nbsp; And yet it's also very technical.&nbsp; It requires a lot of math, experimentation, working to get the perfect balance of fat, water, sugar.&nbsp; It appeals to my logical side, and my artistic side.&nbsp; And it doesn't involve sitting for 12 hours a day.&nbsp; <br><br>I love that ice cream is something we do together.&nbsp; All the memories of childhood trips to ice cream shops, time spent with family and friends...&nbsp; I love having the chance to build a space like that in Brooklyn.&nbsp; A place where we can all gather, pass time, share life.&nbsp; <br>
