Jared Blaut gave 12 years of his life to the NY independent film community, from NYU film, to getting coffee for superstars, to hanging with muppets, to being on the ground floor for the foundation of Focus Features, where he worked with hundreds of film distributors in dozens of countries on the promotion and distribution of Focus-related films. (Rent SESSION 9, people!)  Now "retired" to South Florida with his wife and dogs, Jared owns and operates a local community magazine, for which he never, ever writes in the third person.
