OpenEar Project Coordinators

Ken Loge and Gary Ferrington formed Proscenia Interactive with the goal of facilitating an informal association of independent media producers who come together and work on projects having pro-social entertainment or informational value. Proscenia's organizational structure is one based on collaboration and cooperation believing that profit is secondary to the development of quality materials for children and adults. Loge and Ferrington serve as managers for the current OpenEar Project.
