Ghost Chat New England

Many Thanks to our talented regular production team with their assistance in taping, editing and studio production for GCNE.

Stephen Butler, Senior Production Specialist for GCNE grew up in West Stephentown New York.  After graduating High School, he entered the United States Navy as a Submarine Sonar Technician, rising up through the ranks to become a Chief Petty Officer.  He retired after 22 years of Naval Service and settled in Norwich CT, now working at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center.  But growing up in the MTV era, he always dreamed of setting stories to music.  He met Nancy Krissoff in 1997, and she joined him in CT on Valentines Day.  His desire to tell stories with a lens and a mixing board took shape when Nancy and Cindy formed Ghostlady Productions.  He became certified as a Producer at Comcast's Public Access, but quickly realized that resource and time constraints within the studio's editing rooms would not allow him to fully explore the potential that is Ghost Chat New England.  So he spent numerous hours learning how to edit using his personal computer at home, adding off-beat music and effects to many of the wonderful stories that Nancy and Cindy develop for their television show. Steve is also a member of SECT Film, a gathering of artisans dedicated to making quality films in Southeastern CT.

Steve Butler is an integral part of GCNE. He has honed in on filming and advanced editing where his skills have developed over the past two years and have lead the show to new heights. He is the lead videographer in most two camera shoots and now does at least 80% of the advanced editing that has given the special signature to Ghost Chat B-Rolls. With a never ending desire and determination to learn and expand his skills, the intelligent, innovative, witty Steve Butler would be a great asset to any professional group in need of filming and editing. Mr. Butler's dedicated skills and positive attitude have helped create an award winning show for which Nancy and Cindy have immense gratitude.

Daniel Corriveau, Production Assistant  is  a native nutmegger originally from Historical Old Wethersfield, CT. where he spent much of his youth exploring the vast historical treasures of the area including the Webb, Deane and Stevens homes, the Historic Wethersfield Cove and enjoying battlefield reenactments on the community Green. Daniel inherited his father's passion for history resulting in a deep understanding of CT's local history as well as historical accuracy in relation to World Wars and the Civil War having traveled with his family to Gettysburg and other battlefield locations in the US.  Daniel worked for 8 years as a certified carpenter; 4 of which were in the Carpenter's Union until the economy turned in the early 1990's. He has served as a Sales Manager and a Senior Sales consultant for Whaling City Ford for 12 years. At Whaling City Ford he not only had the opportunity to work for the late Mr. Sigmund Strochlitz but also had the honor to spend a great deal of quality time with this amazing humanitarian, Holocaust Survivor, and Benefactor to the Holocaust Museum. In a memorial tribute, with personal heartfelt sadness, Ghost Chat did a segment on the humanitarian contributions of Mr.Strochlitz. 

Daniel's part in Ghost Chat New England is filming, setting up shots and assisting in all areas of pre and post production in-studio and on-location. Daniel also brainstormed Ghost Chat New England's floating mascot, Ghostie, which is the corny ghost on a fishing line that has made the television show Ghost Chat New England unforgettable to most viewers.  Daniel's insight, creativity, sense of humor and support have been appreciated and valued by both Cindy and Nancy.  Dan  also supports and attends SECTFilm events. (photo to be added)
