Decmber 24, 2013 - Ben proposes to Mariam-- with California style! In typical Karson "do-it-big" fashion, Ben takes a chance, Mariam does, too! Who knew it would work out so well? Written, shot and edited by Ben at Google Studios in Culver City, this was a classy way to record an important moment!

Melody At The Beach - December, 2015 - Melody takes her whole film crew to the beach. She's laughing the whole time because she knows that there are NO beaches in Pennsylvania! Not even cold, windy ones! Bill's filming with editing at "Luray Studios".
The Karson "Do-It-Yourself" Legacy takes a minor hit in 2015 as Mariam & Ben hire professionals to do the heavy lifting in their new home. They hired "Outsiders" because Time Wouldn't Let Them do-it-themselves. So, the theme for this film is "Time Won't Let Me"- a 1966 hit by a Cleveland group called "The Outsiders". Old 8mm, VHS from "CMH" Archives, Scenes from HGTV & Deb-- Bill's Edit at Luray.
