“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Jay Childs on several important projects during the past several years, and his contributions have improved each of the ideas we have brought to him. He’s a consummate filmmaker, with a keen sense of story, a great eye and the sharpest editing skills in New England. He’s also a pleasure to work with, and understands the need to adhere to schedules and budgets. I highly recommend JBC Communications for your project.”

“Jay is the definition of professional. We’ve been working together on numerous high-def video projects that have taken us from Portugal to Turkey to Mexico City, and around the states. The results simply speak for themselves. Jay is the type of businessman you can rely on. On-budget, time, and quality. We’ve output to Blu-Ray, Flash, WMV, MOV, AVI, and many other flavors to suit the myriad of needs that have come our way. You might have even caught the PUMA video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY4msj5Q05Q) with its north of 525k views. I highly recommend Jay and his production work (both corporate and documentary) and am happy to serve as a reference if needed.â€

“Ensuring available, affordable housing for New Hampshire’s workforce has been a high priority for New Hampshire’s business community for several years, which is why the BIA contributed financial support to “Communities & Consequences”. The issues raised in the film and accompanying book focused on this critical business issue. As a part of our campaign to pass meaningful workforce housing legislation, the BIA distributed “Communities & Consequences” to all 424 members of the New Hampshire Legislature. We believe this was critical in raising awareness and understanding of the workforce housing issue and, ultimately, was an integral part of the successful effort to pass legislation into law.”

“I have seen first hand the positive impact Communities and Consequences has had on the issue of the lack of workforce housing in New Hampshire. Most notably NH passed landmark legislation enabling the development of workforce housing and several Seacoast towns have adopted, or are working on workforce housing friendly ordinances.
I knew “Communities and Consequences” was influencing public opinion when a local town planning board chair spoke about ‘Human Ecology’ and then held up the film and companion book and recommended his committee view the movie and read the book.”

Review of Communities & Consequences – Named to Top 5 Selections Across Categories
at NH Film Festival.
“This 56-minute documentary by writer/producer/director Jay Childs and demographics expert Peter Francese of Exeter is must-viewing for everyone in New Hampshire. Especially people here in Portsmouth grappling with the middle school issue.
Francese goes inside small town New Hampshire to investigate the causes and effects of our graying state. Young people are leaving us for various reasons, lack of jobs, lack of affordable housing, lack of adequate schooling (as evidenced in a Moultonborough middle school debate) and a general impression that they are not welcome.
Francese conducts exit interviews with young couples leaving the state, attends city meetings, talks to young professionals’ groups, meets work-force housing developers and gets both sides of the Not In My Back Yard debate. Truly the best kind of documentary.”

JBC recently completed an online video promotion for Living Lean & Healthy’s web site. “What was inspiring to us about this project was Living Lean & Healthy’s approach to lifestyle changes.
