Fish Flicks - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

Sometimes we fall into a career. Other times, we build one, doing
something simple that we ve loved since childhood. Stephanie s
guests in this edition of Out to Lunch fall into the latter
category. Mark Cartwright is a sport fisherman from south
Louisiana, who grew up enjoying the bounties of Sportsman s
Paradise. But, as an adult and father of two boys, he often found
himself spending weekends on the baseball field, instead of at the
family fishing camp. Combining his penchant for baseball with his
love of fishing, Mark created The Catcher s Mitt, a specially
outfitted glove that keeps your hands clean and safe while you
handle your catch. His company Reel Fun, has gone on to create a
second product, the Tipster, which Mark describes as "21st Century
jug fishing" basically, it s a horizontal floating fishing rod that
tips upright to alert you when you ve caught something. Matt Callac
is a native of Slidell who knew as early as his high school
journalism classes where he learned to edit on old VCR machines
that he wanted to build a career around video production. After
internships that took him to New York, and experience working with
ad agencies, Matt settled in Baton Rouge and opened his own
boutique firm, Elbow Room. Elbow Room is a self described "motion
design studio" that specializes in engaging, animated content for a
variety of local and regional clients. Like Matt, Elbow Room s
productions are edgy, fun, and unlike much else you ll see coming
out of the Baton Rouge market. After this conversation, look for
the upcoming Elbow Room film about The Catcher s Mitt. Photos at
