Amy Lauer Goldin

Literature: Drama; Literature: Poetry; Theatre: Other; Theatre: Technical

Amy Lauer Goldin is a transplant to St Augustine from Miami Fl, where the colorful mix of cultures informed much of her previous writing. Relocating in 2014, the cultural shift to North Florida has injected new perspective and inspiration into her poetry and playwriting, much of it based on social and political satire and observation. Amy’s particular bent is holding up a mirror to reflect the times and ourselves, although in many cases it is a fun-house mirror. In July of 2019 her Summer Shorts Variety Show included a running sketch entitled Shrink Rap, a social satire which engendered such positive reviews that it is now being revived as a full-length play, including new scenes and additional characters. It is projected to open in early 2020. Amy continues to be an active member of Ancient City Poets, and conducts a weekly poetry workshop at a local center for addiction and mental health treatment. Her discovery of the therapeutic nature of poetry stems from her experience working with women in the Homestead Correctional Institute, a maximum-security prison in South Florida.

Michael LeGrand

Media: Film; Media: Video; Visual Arts: Photography

I have always had a creative eye and an interest in art, but it wasn’t until after completing three years of Architectural studies at Drexel University that I discovered photography was the best outlet for my creativity. I began building my business and perfecting my craft in Philadelphia before relocating to Florida. I am a photographer who brings a creative edge to the photography needs of my corporate photography clients. These companies depend on me to help them communicate their ideas through photographs that are inspired. The images I create are used by colleges, universities, non-profits, financial institutions, healthcare companies, large corporations and small businesses for annual reports, internal and external newsletters, websites, and advertising campaigns.
