Videographer Greg Lytle standing with Bob on our dock scouting out scenes to use for filming a commercial for ACHIA, the Alaska Comprehensive Health Insurance Assn., a health insurance plan for people who are turned down due to pre-existing conditions that Bob helped create for Alaska years ago. Northwest Strategies handled the production, it was amazing to see creative people work with film and a script. We have no idea how the short clip will go together, but it was fun to be involved.
Bob recorded voice overs with Senior Account Executive, Janet Oates, who is reviewing the material using a headset and watching playback on the camera screen. We were lucky to have a flat calm day, two Trumpeter Swan flew overhead and our resident Muskrat came out from under the dock while we were there.
Mona McAleese, an ACHIA Board Member and friend, joined us for the indoor shoot. It was staged with my Sunflower painting and a huge, fantastic, gorgeous bouquet of fresh sunflowers. I can’t wait to see the finished product.

It will be fun to see your smiling faces in an unfamiliar setting. I’l be looking for the commercial.

Gail, how exciting. Your living room looks very inviting. Will the commerical be on TV in Anchorage?
Thanks John, we hope it will bring help and information to Alaskan’s who have been turned down for medical insurance.

Thanks Connie,
It will air all over Alaska because we want Alaskan’s to know of this opportunity. The film crew really knew how to “stage” my living room
