HOW IT ALL STARTED
In Isla Vista, CA -- the uniquely strange beach town adjacent to the University of California at Santa Barbara campus -- something was born that can never die and will always be welcome to the wicked, the wily, the weary, and the ones who wander in the dark...Mookpark. This was the Sophomore home of the founder and his roommates at UCSB. The home of the 'mookbats' who lit bonfires and made raucous raves that burned in the hearts of everyone nearby. This place, this Mookpark, is the encapsulation of everything possible and everything impossible that we could ever dream. The home of the dreamers that houses us all. Once you visit Mookpark, you will never be without it.

Growing up in the suburbs of the San Francisco Bay Area, Blair has been fascinated with movies ever since he saw E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and felt the emotional power of cinema. While studying film at the University of California at Santa Barbara, he co-wrote and directed an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart. After graduating with a a B.A. in Film Studies, Blair moved to San Francisco. Working on independent feature films, commercials, and music videos he worked primarily in the Production Department (Coordinating / Assistant Directing). Also while in San Francisco, he shot another short film called A Kiss for Friday -- a film noir depicting a classic femme fatale character with a surprising twist. Moving to Los Angeles in 2004, Blair has spent the past two decades working in unscripted television. He has helped produce shows such as History Channel's "Top Shot," NatGeo Wild's "Cesar Millan's Dog Nation," Discovery Channel's "Naked & Afraid," and MTV's "Catfish: The TV Show." In 2014, Blair wrote and directed the horror short film, Forever, which was featured in many film festivals around the country.
