fixed heart films Creating an Entrepreneurial Story at Fixed Heart Films by Kimberly Gunning The lifestyle of completing college, spending 30 years working for the same company and then earning retirement is becoming a model of the past. Our generation is learning to become entrepreneurs, and Phoenix is gracefully working together to put our new businesses on the map.
pany just sort of formed out of a need to do something interesting with our lives.”
As crowdfunding continues to grow in popularity as a way for new entrepreneurs to get their idea off the ground, a well-produced video to showcase a project’s vision may determine whether it will be successfully funded or not. Locally based Fixed Heart Films is doing its part by giving a voice through video to Valley entrepreneurs. “I want to do something to where I leave an impact,” said Production Manager Kyle Mauser. “This com-
Kyle, an art school graduate, had been interning with a manufacturing company producing videos. Despite the lure of financial and job stability, Kyle was eager to work for himself, doing something different with his film skills. Lacking the management skill set to run his
own business, Kyle’s brother Ryan Mauser came on as a project manager to help him secure freelance work. Not long after, Diego Rico, the Mauser’s brother-in-law, joined as marketing manager. At the same time as the business partnership between brothers formed, crowdfunding on Kickstarter and Indiegogo was exploding. “This is a brand new way of creating business, and we felt that we had the in on creating these videos for people,” Ryan said. How It Works The business model for Fixed Heart Films follows the Kickstarter model—“If you don’t make it, we don’t make it,” Rico explains. Understanding that most entrepreneurs have 90 percent of their money tied up, Fixed Heart Films works around their budget. They discuss the scope of the video, length, lo-

cation and complications in order to determine a total cost. Ten percent is usually taken up front and, if and when the project is successfully funded, the remaining cost is collected. The success of Fixed Heart Films is, “all dependent on how much we believe in that company,” Ryan states. “We’re tied in with your success. It makes us work hard with what we do.” Remember SITGREEN’s most recent Kickstarter project? Fixed Heart Films produced the SITGREEN Kickstarter 2.0 video that helped Owner Jon Irons successfully earn funding to move his business forward. Originally from California, the three ventured to Phoenix after witnessing the small business and entrepreneurship initiatives happening around the city. A place calling for revival, they were taken back by how the city is working together to move things forward.
True Heart The name for the company, originally suggested by Ryan, is a bit of a play on Kyle’s own heart. Born with a hole in his heart, Kyle had surgery at nine months old, a replaced valve at 18 years old, and will require additional surgeries every seven to 15 years to keep his heart working properly.
“There’s energy in the city I think most people wouldn’t understand unless you’re here,” Rico says. Between the local government’s support of small business, the entrepreneurial resources and partnerships and the ease of shooting video around the Valley, Ryan says it is, “really powerful to see everybody working together”
He may have a “repaired” heart as opposed to a “fixed” heart—as corrected by his doctor—but the name is an appropriate fit for the passion and commitment the company shows towards the entrepreneurs they work with and through the stories they tell.

The passion to tell someone’s story is clearly seen through Fixed
Heart Films’ One Passion Project. This March, the company will be launching its own Kickstarter project to fund the making of “Javier’s Journey to Baja 500.” Diego’s uncle Javier, who was paralyzed in a dirt biking accident, has built his own racing truck on a shoestring budget. “He’s winning races. It’s not like he’s just doing this for fun,” Diego says. The team plans to document his progress and his road to the Baja 500. “We want to spotlight how good he is at what he does,” Ryan says. If successfully funded, the money will go towards financing the filming equipment and help with the funds needed for Javier to race at the Baja 500.

Chihuly Garden and Glass opened at Seattle Center in 2012. “Anticipation is so high around the Garden as we wait to see what magic Dale Chihuly will bring this time,” said Ken Schutz, the Dr. William Huizingh executive director. “Last time we were amazed by the textures, colors and patterns of the art and how it seemed to exist side-by-side with the living plant collection. We had a tremendous community response with record attendance and the feedback from our guests was unanimous, ‘We want more!’” Chihuly in the Garden is presented by JPMorgan Chase.

One Bottle at a Time
Old wine bottles become works of art by Katie Snyder
Ray DelMuro has always known what he’s destined for. “I’ve loved making things since I was young,” says DelMuro. “From Legos to welding my own furniture in college, I always knew it would be a part of my life in some way, shape or form.” And it was. DelMuro’s glass making odyssey started back in 2008. DelMuro was working as a manufacturing engineer for a Southern California aerospace company when he started experimenting with empty wine bottles and a bottle-cutting kit.
Eventually he figured it out and decided to take his experiment and turn it into a business. That same year, DelMuro launched Refresh Glass, a Phoenix-based company that recycles empty wine bottles, turning them into drinking glasses, vases and other works of art. “Refresh Glass has transformed a problem into an effective business model,” says DelMuro.
“refresh glass has transformed a problem into an effective business model”
“More than two-thirds of wine bottles in America are not recycled,” says DelMuro. “I wanted to find a solution, improve our planet and make something useful out of the bottles.”
Determined, he sat for hours, sanding and cutting away until he had a functional piece of art. “It was a challenge,” says DelMuro. “My first bottle took hours.”
And it has worked. Every month more than 10,000 wine bottles are recycled from area restaurants, bars and hotels. They are then cleaned, stocked by color, manufactured with custom built machinery and polished at a manufacturing facility in Tempe. Today, Refresh Glass has recycled over 400,000 wine bottles and his products can be found online or at Valley establishments like Postino, Pizzeria Bianco, Hyatt Gainey Ranch, Phoenix Public Market and Practical Art.

The program will start in Tempe and eventually run in all Valley Whole Food stores as well as those in the Southern Pacific United States. The popular grocery chain will sell DelMuro’s products as well. “This is a great opportunity for Refresh Glass,” says DelMuro. “We couldn’t be more excited and this is just one of our planned business ventures that will come in 2014.” Also in 2014, Refresh Glass plans to join forces with other Valley hotels and event venues offering what DelMuro is calling the “Refresh Memories Kit.” “From weddings to birthday parties, this kit will allow people to relive their most cherished memories,” says DelMuro. According to DelMuro there will be several different options that include various types of bottles and an etching option, all for under $500.
“We’ve had tremendous support from the community,” says DelMuro. “Every week we have people wanting to get involved on some level and help provide us with empty wine bottles or support our mission by featuring our products.” But their bottle rescue mission doesn’t stop there. According to DelMuro, Refresh Glass has big

plans for 2014, thanks to a recent partnership with Valley grocery chain, Whole Foods. “Together with Whole Foods, we plan to launch a bottle collection program,” says DelMuro. “This will allow more individuals to get involved and help our bottle rescue mission.”
Feb 2014 | Localrevibe Magazine
“From our custom packages to our individual products like vases, glassware and candle holders--our product is unique,” says DelMuro. “With the continued support from our partners and various clients, we hope to continue our bottle rescue mission and show our on-going commitment to bettering the planet one bottle at a time.” For more information, visit www.RefreshGlass.com

“i am just hugo, nothing more, nothing less.� by Ashley Brand / photos by Chris Kontakis

Feb 2014 | Localrevibe Magazine
Born in La Paz, Bolivia, given a wall as a canvas, and inspired by Carlos Rivas, Hugo Medina knows one thing in life is certain: “I am just Hugo, nothing more, nothing less.” A defining moment that stands out for Medina comes in the form of a vivid childhood memory. “When I was about 5 years old, my dad gave me a wall in my house and told me I could do whatever I wanted to that wall, just not touch the rest of the house…I did, and then went on to draw all over the house as well,” he said. From then on, his work has spread from interior walls to the outer walls of apartment buildings, galleries, and other locations around Phoenix. Medina’s technique is a creative blend of grisaille, painting done in monochrome or near monochrome in shades of grey, and direct painting which inevitably creates his signature pieces. The flowing, curved lines seep into each other and his series’ materialize.
The beauty in Medina’s murals is the inspiration comes to him from his memories, life around him, and sometimes out of the blue. He says, “they just happen, it all depends on my pallet what I have available and what I am painting.” Medina’s Guitar Series in particular was “influenced by the songs my father played when I was young.” He continues, “my wife is an amazing artist, I love working out ideas with her. She is truly and inspiration along side my two girls. They give me the best critiques.” Hugo Medina is currently working on a mural at The Marquee Apartments and has four other impending projects. He will also be participating in the Art Detour 26 (which returns to Phoenix March 8th), the Art Detour Gala, as well as curating the Phoenix Phaboulus Experience mural, and the Coe House gallery. For more information about Hugo Medina and his art, check him out on Facebook and at www.hugosart.com.

Phoenix-based designer is bringing a sense of humor and one-of-a-kind couture to the Valley. Fashion guru and industry leader Angela Johnson is breathing new life into beloved concert t-shirts and thrift store scores. Johnson’s eco-friendly clothing line is crafted mainly from thrifted t-shirts, but the results are cat-walk ready. She is best known for her “T-shirt ball gowns,” which have been appearing in her collections for more than a decade. “It’s so personal,” Johnson said. “People can pick out the logo theme and say ‘give me all music shirts and make them all black’ or whatever they want.” The clothing is sold online, and ranges from the stunning, up-cycled gowns to skirts, jumpers, and jackets. You name it, she makes it. Her current line also offers something for the younger fashionista, including a tank top with hand-crafted butterfly wings on the back. Collecting materials is a never-ending process. Johnson scours Goodwill, second-hand shops and thrift stores for every order, and keeps an eye out for cool additions to her collection along the way. Johnson inherited her interest in fashion from her grandmother. She lived in her grandparents’ home growing up and spent much of her childhood exploring the contents of their closet. “My grandma would always host these elaborate parties and dress up,” Johnson said. “She wore these
24

amazing dresses, but she had this kind of gaudy sense of style as well. She would wear things that were daring and unusual.” It’s not hard to see where that bold influence seeped into Johnson’s work. Her edgy designs are a little punk rock, very eye-catching and always one-of-akind. An Arizona native, Johnson went to Northern Arizona University to study speech communication. One degree later she found herself full of passion but without a marketable skill. A career quiz pointed her in the direction of the fashion industry, and Johnson has been unstoppable ever since. After finishing a one-year program at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, Johnson had everything she needed to carve out her niche in the world of design.
“In one year I learned everything I hadn’t known my whole life,” she said. “I learned to sew and I learned how to make patterns from scratch, how to drape, how to draw.” Johnson creates a new collection every year, which go straight from the catwalk to the web. Customers can look through pictures on her website and choose exactly what they want their garments to look like, from theme to color to cut. Everything Johnson sells is made to order. They may be born in a thrift store, but the results are high-quality and fashion-forward.
“I make everything out of recycled t-shirts so it’s unique and people are willing to pay that one-of-akind price because no one else will have it,” Johnson said. “It’s like a keepsake as well, because some people will supply me their shirts.” For all her success, Johnson credits the time she spent learning her trade at FIDM. Her advice to hopeful entrepreneurs is to back up passion with the right education. “For some reason there’s this misconception that fashion is going to be easy, people don’t realize how much technology and engineering goes into it.” When she’s not digging through second-hand racks across Phoenix, Johnson teaches at a couple colleges and gives private lessons. She also puts her background in public speaking to good use by staying vocal in the local fashion industry. She’s also the mastermind behind the fashion directory “LabelHorde,” which offers an online network to professionals outside of traditional fashion cities like L.A. and New York.

The “Catification”Lady Phoenix’s very own cat woman explores the depths of feline environmental enhancement by Katie Snyder / photos by Chris Kontakis Phoenix resident, Kate Benjamin has one of the best jobs in the world. What is it, you ask? Well, she writes about and makes things for cats all day. But her feline driven business didn’t just happen overnight.
28
“It all started about seven years ago, when I was in the hunt for some stylish toys and accessories for my own cats but wasn’t having any luck,” says Benjamin. “So, I decided to create an online resource, Moderncat.net, for other cat lovers like myself to find products that make their homes feline friendly.”
Feb 2014 | Localrevibe Magazine
The next thing she knew, Moderncat.net became the go-to source for anything and all things cats and Benjamin created a booming business and became the queen of “catification.” “Readers posted fan mail and I would receive various design sam-
ples from advertisers that I would then write about or feature on my site,” says Benjamin. “As advertisers grew, I decided to quit my day job, and devote all my time to Moderncat.net.”
side a home without compromising a person’s design atheistic.”
And she did. In 2009, just a couple years after starting Moderncat.net, Benjamin’s popularity had grown so much she was able to launch her own line of handmade cat products, crafted locally, under the name Moderncat Studio.
With business booming, Benjamin thought it was time to bring her blog and line of cat products together in 2013 by re-branding her Moderncat blog as Hauspanther, an online magazine for design-conscious cat people and product shop. “I’m happy to have a space that brings cats and their owners together and changes the way people think about living with cats,” says Benjamin.
“Many of the various beds and scratchers out there are so ugly and people don’t want them in their home,” says Benjamin. “My products are unique and go very well in-
Today, the new website gets more than 200,000 page views per month, currently has over 18,000 email subscribers and has people from all over the world buying her products
which include items such as organic cat nip, cat trapezes and unique scratching posts. Local distributors have even been caught up in the cat frenzy. “Aside from our online shop, we also sell our products locally at Noble Beast and a number of other small boutiques around the world,” says Benjamin. But it’s not just pet boutiques that are interested in Benjamin and her products. Hauspanther has recently garnered the attention of popular cat behaviorist, and expert on environmental enhancement from the hit television show “My Cat from Hell”, Jackson Galaxy, too.
Feb 2014 | Localrevibe Magazine

“Currently, I work with Jackson on his show “My Cat from Hell”, on Animal Planet, discussing catification and how to create a better environment for you and your cat at home,” says Benjamin. “However, we’ve got even bigger plans for a project later this year.” So, what’s next for the cat duo? According to Benjamin, the two have plans to collaborate on a book about “catification,” a concept that Benjamin says, teaches people how to live stylishly with cats by offering interior design ideas and D.I.Y. projects for cat owners. The book is set to launch in later in 2014. Until then, Benjamin says she will continue to connect with cat lovers everywhere through her website. “It’s great to finally have a place that combines my love for design and love for cats in one space,” she says. “I’m eager to take my brand to the next level this year and look forward to sharing it with my cat-loving, design conscious community.” For more information, visit www.hauspanther.com.

restaurant live arizona raising awareness for local eateries by Morgan Tanabe
Over the years Phoenix has transformed into a food lover’s destination. Breaking the norm of typical restaurant chains and fast food joints, the Valley is breathing new life into its once bleak culinary world.
Phoenix is home to hundreds of locally owned eateries that don’t always get the attention they deserve—Simon strives to shift the spotlight in their direction.
Joanie Simon is raising awareness for local eateries. A Phoenix resident and general manager of Copperstate Restaurant Technologies, Joanie Simon is acquainted with the culinary talent.
“For local independent owners its crazy hours, hot kitchens but an environment that is really fascinating,” Simon explains. “Restaurant Live Arizona helps people understand when they are dining out, who the people are behind the scenes.”
Simon, an ambitious entrepreneur, showcases the personalities behind the curtains. Her passion, and belief in the industry is the foundation for her radio show Restaurant Live Arizona. The weekly one-hour episodes cover noteworthy kitchens of some of the best spots to grub in the Grand Canyon State. “Restaurant personalities really lend themselves to telling stories, so I thought, ‘lets create an opportunity to connecting the dining public to these people,’” Simon says. In an age where diners expect exceptional service and a quality meal, the human element is often eliminated. Through hyper-local media, she highlights beyond the boundaries of mere eating and drinking. Her mission is to connect people with the masterminds behind dazzling dining destinations. 32 Feb 2014 | Localrevibe Magazine
Though chains play a significant role in the Valley, the locally owned cafe and artisan-owned specialty shop is what makes the area a true oasis in the desert. Her goal is to help locals uncover the unknown gems and celebrate the food in Phoenix’s own backyard. Restaurant Live AZ airs every Thursday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. To catch previous episodes visit restaurantliveaz.com
