Working with CNS Productions on Neuropharmacology Video Projects

Mark DuMond has been working for many years in various capacities with CNS Productions, which is headquartered in Medford, Oregon but distributes high-end video productions throughout North America.

Recently, several video shoots were accomplished in the Seattle, Washington area, with DuMond acting as camera operator. They were all associated with a current project about addiction and relapse. Many interviews were recorded, mostly with recovering addicts but also with some professionals in the field.

CNS Productions has been involved in the subject area of drug abuse, dependence and treatment for decades. From their own site:

The creative force behind CNS Productions, Inc. lies in the collaborative efforts of the organizations principals, Paul J. Steinbroner and William Cohen. Since 1976, these two men have worked together, along with Dr. Darryl Inaba, former CEO of the San Francisco-based Haight-Ashbury Drug Detoxificaton, and Aftercare Clinic, to produce one of the principal resources for the college level classroom, Uppers, Downers, All Arounders, as well as a comprehensive video library of substance abuse information titles.

DuMond Takes on Coming Attractions

Mark DuMond has been contracted by Coming Attractions Theatres, a west coast chain of movie theatres, to write and produce on-screen advertising. The chain has theatres in smaller communities in California, Oregon and Washington, from as far south as Eureka, California, to as far north as Aberdeen, Washington.

DuMond will be writing, producing and doing voiceover work for Coming Attractions, creating brief advertisements which are featured prior to the showing of previews, trailers and feature films. The project reteams DuMond with Tom Winmill, who heads up the sales team for Coming Attractions. The two worked together at COBI Digital HD (now Pilot Rock Productions) in Medford, Oregon for five years.
