HELENE EKSTEROWICZ on CITY LIVIN’ and PHILADELPHIA

"I had a blast shooting the scenes for City Livin'. We had a fun cast and crew and so, what more could a girl ask for? Fred and Gervase kept me laughing throughout the AC shoot... Thanks guys!!"

"What isn't there to like about Philly? I love the down to earth people, the great food and city vibe of Old City, Rittenhouse, and Manayunk, the great arts and culture, and the awesome shopping on Walnut Street... And who could forget the greatest sports teams like the Phils, Flyers, Sixers, and Eagles (who are making it to the Superbowl this year....I love being optimistic, so sue me!")

GERVASE PETERSON on CITY LIVIN’ and PHILADELPHIA

”What I loved most about working on City Livin’ was the freedom...the freedom of having an idea of what to say, but being able to inject my style and words into the scene...plus being able to work w/other celebs like Jimmy Rollins, Mike Quick and Fred Barnett who I've been a fan of ever since he played for the Eagles.

I was giddy like a school girl when we went to AC, I just wanted to call him “Arkansas Fred” the whole time...I love Philly b/c its such a great mix of LA and NY (2 places I love)...there is so much to do here, from the museums to the art to the history to the clubs to the cheesesteaks to the sports... Everything is right here and its home.”
