   How many people in NEO could have an uplifting, inspiring and positive documentary film made about them - how many people in NEO would come out looking all good... great? "Citizen" Ed Hauser is surely unique to Northeast Ohio, having stood up to many other "citizens", including NEO community and government "leadership", in a 9-year fight for what Ed felt was best for all in the community. The documentary "Citizen Hauser", about Ed's battle, which officially led to victory on March 02, 2007, has aired on public television in Northeast Ohio - an outstanding work by Blue Hole Productions - will be featured with other short films at the Cleveland Film Festival, as posted below.

Let's make this a victory party!

More about Blue Hole and Citizen Hauser

• blue hole productions : mission statement •

      We intend to make films that we would want to watch, and think others would as well. This means films that are distinctly human in their story, creatively distinct in their telling, and universal in their relevance. A major documentary, international in its scope, is in the early planning stages. A narrative feature is in the also in the planning stages. It is the mission of the owners, Jonathan Shick and Ryan Rodriguez, to tell stories on a global level. They also hope to have company t-shirts one day, maybe even hooded sweatshirts.
