Guthrie Haunts

Adventures at Guthrie Haunts and Not For Sale

In this adventure video, I interrogate John Pagonis of Guthrie Haunts on the electric chair and I chat with two of the artists of Not For Sale on a comfortable couch.

While I’ve done videos on both of them recently, for my adventure video I went on a different route. For Guthrie Haunts, we talk about both of the haunts and on Not For Sale, I interviewed two other artists that I didn’t interview. I wouldn’t call this video a rehash.

Happy Adventures!

Rachael Robinson Profile

A Yes! Science! profile video on Rachael Robinson, Director of Education at the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden.

Rachael Robinson recently relocated to Oklahoma City from Atlanta, Georgia, where she worked for more than eight years with Zoo Atlanta as manager and then director of public education programs. Robinson credits the support of her parents and the careers of female scientists such as Dr. Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey as her inspiration to pursue a career in conservation education. During college, Robinson started conducting educational tours of the Zoology department’s museum and volunteering at a local nature center. Through those experiences, she learned that her passion was more directed to teaching and inspiring others to love animals and nature.

Robinson received a Bachelor of Arts in zoology and environmental studies from Ohio Wesleyan University and a Master of Science in environmental education from Lesley University, Audubon Expedition Institute, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Robinson is a regular Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) conference presenter; a Co-Chair of AZA’s Volunteer Management Committee; and a certified interpretive guide and certified interpretive trainer through the National Association for Interpretation.

Inside Guthrie Haunts

Insomnia at Guthrie Haunts

John Pagonis talks about his new haunted house attraction, Insomnia, part of the Guthrie Haunts Scaregrounds. Insomnia is their brand new interactive haunt where guests will have to interact with the actors in order to escape.

I filmed this yesterday during my trip to Guthrie. I love getting to see the behind-the-scenes of haunted houses to learn what makes them scary and fun. The video doesn’t contain any spoilers. While in Guthrie, I also did an interview with The Boarding House, which will be next week’s featured video.

Be sure to check my script horror/comedy series, Quarter Minutes.

Not For Sale artwork

Not For Sale

Not For Sale presents accomplished artists from the graffiti community in a showcase in Oklahoma Contemporary’s gallery setting. This one-of-a-kind show included 10 artists who have been integral to the Oklahoma graffiti scene, each of whom painted their works directly on Oklahoma Contemporary’s gallery walls.

Featured artists include: SKER, JASPYR, CODAK, SADAT, HEK, SEAPO, GERM, ENTAKE, MANIK and RHAK.

I filmed these interviews with Chris and Angel when the artists were working on the art last weekend. Today, Oklahoma Contemporary had a media preview where I filmed the b-roll of the finished art. If you can, go see it for yourself. It opens tonight and will be around for a few months.

Love what Uncovering Oklahoma has been doing? I could use your support.
