Documentary subjects



1. Mark Metzger


Mark Metzger is from Toledo Ohio. I first met him 10 years ago when our bands played a show together. After the course of these 10 years Mark has gone on to start his own Screen Printing company, gone on tour over in Europe with his friends in Hit The Lights, and also maintained 2 off his own bands back in Ohio. Mark most recently started a non profit organization in his home town of Toledo after a recent water crisis called "A Greater Toledo" to gain funds to donate  to water.org to help fund projects for clean water for people who need it.


2. Zack Blackwood


    This is Zack Blackwood. Over the last year or so Zack and a couple of his buddies started their own business called Burn Em' Brewing, and in case you didn't know from the name, they brew beer. They have created a quick niche for themselves in a short amount of time and growing quickly, so quick that Zack was able to quit his part time job to focus on his business full time. Burn Em' is part of a tight, thriving micro bee community that helped them get their feet off the ground.



                                                                3. Jon Silveus


Jon Silveus is my dad. I know its kind of strange to want to interview my own father, but he's kind of awesome. He's a dad and a grandpa that works at a factory full time by day. But by night he helps  work for Top Shot Armory selling, trading, and buying guns and ammo at their store or Gun shows. Did I mention he's also a Pit Master? He's especially into catering and barbecue competitions. He's won a great deal of awards ranging from county Fairs to nationally KCBS sanctioned events, using his own smoker/cooker and grill set ups that he has built himself.

  1. Interviewing your dad isn't a bad idea or weird at all. I'm more curious about the Burn Em' Brewing though, I'd like to start my own business some day and like to hear how they got it rolling.

  2. Doing docs on family members is great. We all have stories to tell. Your dad sounds like an interesting fellow. These are all solid ideas. Using your friend mark as a subject sounds difficult if he is currently living in Ohio.
