Short film becomes a big winner

We received a very nice write-up in the Pioneer Press this week. The Pioneer Press is owned by the Chicago Sun-Times and publishes local papers for Chicago area suburban communities (Skokie Review, Evanston Review, etc.) I'd have to say that this is the most thorough and accurate article written about us to date.

KEN AVIDOR would not seem to constitute much of a threat to the Republican Party. A Minnesota graphic artist with no official political role, he is a self-described Luddite and a bit of a wonk with an interest in arcane transportation issues.

And now that the election was near, God was “focused like a laser beam, in his reasoning, on this race.”
