Michael Newton-McLaughlin

I like telling stories, or helping others to share theirs. I'm big on giving back to the community, and keeping it real.

Things my friends call me: gritty, caring, tenacious. They also call me by my nickname "Dilip!", though no one remembers why.

Along with completing post-producton on a documentary about public space three years in the making, I'm incubating a media production consultancy to serve urban planners, designers, policy wonks and do-gooders. I'm also training for the 2015 L.A. Marathon and learning Chinese.

Oh and.... Cal Golden Bears 4 life!
