I have tried to use my experience, skills and passion to help level the playing field, impact, inspire & empower future generations. I'm always looking for positive ways to contribute."My father, Teamster, civil rights & political leader Bill Nuchow worked with Dr. King and was in Memphis with the sanitation workers at the time of his death. I was nine years old when my father took me on the freedom train from New York to Washington, D.C. to hear Dr. King deliver "I Have A Dream" amidst a sea of humanity rich in the spirit of hope, mutual respect, and unity. So much of that is needed today."I have to thank my parents for instilling in me a drive for fairness, a love of all people, compassion and creativity. My childhood saw many moves beginning with my birth almost on a picket line outside NYC's Cityhall as my mom (9 months pregnant) carried both me and a sign supporting unionization of taxi drivers. I have early memories of the Bronx in the coops projects, Boston and Bloomfield, NJ. My formative years from 3 to 9 were spent in New York State's Catskills Mountain community of Woodstock near Kingston. My sister Laura Jane and I spent many hours in the garage's "eggroom" making cartons and packing them with eggs for our step father Harry Cohen. We made those early child labor moments fun...I grew up supporting and attending dozens of peace, environmental and human rights causes and rallies. I then dropped out of high school and enlisted in the U.S. Army at 17 traveling overseas to Berlin, Germany as a 'gunbunny' for the Berlin Brigade's C-94th Artillery battery.My worldview followed me to the barracks. Consequently, I organized with a group of other like minded soldiers (Just got reconnected after 30 years to Berlin Brother Rick Shadions thanks to MySpace) and led a strike against militarism, sexism, racism and for better G.I. housing conditions. Obviously, the military is not a place for protest. We were court-martialed and I was sentenced to 6 months. I served 4 months, was reassigned to Fort Sill, Oklahoma where I continued to organize until getting my Honorable Discharge.I followed in my father's path with over thirty years of experience and skills including of course - organizing workers into the union, traveling down south to Tupelo, Mississippi to support Skip Robinson of the United League against the KKK and working with Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow/PUSH coalition. Additionally, my skills include writing and as a graphic artist, editor, media education producer, producer of events and live entertainment/ marketing/advertising as restaurant owner/manager of San Gennaro Cafe in Las Vegas.I left Las Vegas and returned back to Los Angeles in 1999 where I became employed as a Screen Actors Guild agency contracts staff person. I then parlayed that into a position with the SAG Foundation as its creator / Program Director for a national speaker series called Conversations producing hundreds of events with award winning actors, directors, producers, and screenwriters benefiting Screen Actors Guild membersI worked with the major film studios Universal, Disney, Warner Bros, SONY, 20th Century, New Line Cinema, Paramount, as well as independent studios including Lionsgate Pictures, Focus Features, Fox Searchlight, Warner Independent Pictures, Think Films, IFC, Magnolia, First Look, etc.I worked closely with publicists on several film awards campaigns including LOTR, Sideways, Ray, Crash, Hustle & Flow, etc. also worked with publicists of television networks including Fox, CBS, NBC, TNT, Hallmark Channel, FX; production companies including WB Television, Paramount Television, 20th Century, etc. and individual shows & actors.Lea Yardum, Perception PR, Partner / Paramount Vantage, Publicist – “Bob grew the “Conversations†and “Roll Film†events at the SAG Foundation to a benchmark in the awards season campaign trail. I had the pleasure of collaborating with him and the Foundation on special screenings and Q&A’s for films like “Sidewaysâ€, “In Americaâ€, “Garden Stateâ€, “Kinsey†and “Walk The Lineâ€, among many others. He bent over backwards to accommodate schedules, managed to put a smile on even the most exhausted, overworked talent and publicists and delivered first-rate events that held great value in our overall campaign efforts. He is tireless and wholly committed to excellence.â€I had also tried to manage, secure financing and produce my nephew, screenplay writer Samir Vural feature-scripts "Eavesdropping" “Daydreamers Club†“First Try†“Iron Tiger Kung Fu†and the Lovecraftian New Mexico set supernatural, horror, thriller “The Desertâ€. Samir has established his own industry network and continues to write and find his own path including 'The Worlds Apart' literary series, Book 1 "Rune Blue".In addition, I am currently on the (The Cell Theatre in Albuquerque, NM) FUSION Theatre Company’s Advisory Board. I look forward to eventually relocating possibly to Albuquerque, NM or to Austin, Texas for my remaining years.Until then, I remain in Los Angeles - excited to be working with Wilshire Screening Room President & Founder Michael S.
