RTF alumnus Ted Gessing recently worked as field producer on the FRONTLINE documentary CLOSE TO HOME, which airs Tuesday, October 27 at 9p.m.
CLOSE TO HOME chronicles how one unlikely neighborhood -- New York's Upper East Side -- is faring in this recession through the stories of the people who she's come to know at the hair salon she's frequented for the past 20 years. The film reveals salon owner Deborah Boles' struggles to stay afloat, her sister's risk of imminent foreclosure on her Florida home and the various clients whose lives intersect at this New York City salon -- from well-to-do bankers to struggling actors -- each with a story to tell about how they're getting by in these turbulent times.
