Charles Cohen is a Baltimore native, writer, and documentary filmmaker. He has just finished the documentary, as described in a recent Sun piece,  “Going All Pro, How Fancy Clancy Became the World’s Greatest Beer Vender” and is working on a smattering of other projects.

Melissa Hale is a freelance multimedia journalist. She recently graduated Towson University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications for journalism. The semesters at Towson provided her great learning experiences including an internship at The Baltimore Sun, a trip to the 2009 Online News Association Conference in San Francisco and putting together a class website that displays the faces of homelessness in Baltimore City.

Steve Luxenberg is a Washington Post associate editor and award-winning author, has worked for more than 30 years as a newspaper editor and reporter. Post reporters working with Steve have won two Pulitzer Prizes. His award-winning nonfiction book, Annie’s Ghosts: A Journey Into a Family Secret, has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and in Parade Magazine. It was named to  The Washington Post’s Best Books of 2009 list, and chosen as a Michigan Notable Book by the Library of Michigan. Steve, a native of Detroit, also has a TV “credit”—look carefully, and you’ll see him as an extra in HBO’s dramatic series “The Wire.” (Hint: A three-second headshake in season five.)
