Pukac on TV	Pukac on TV Michael Pukac is in the process of filming the pilot for an Art related reality show. The show is titled "Stroke of Genius" and more info can be seen here: www.strokeofgenius.tv
	New Film: "Before I Wake" Pukac is creating the art for the character artist in the short film "Before I Wake", produced by USC graduate students. Pictures Coming Soon! "Before I Wake" Directed by Eric Marks http://beforeiwakemovie.com/index.html A Little about the Film: We're used to short-term pleasures patching the voids in our lives – expensive clothes, jewelry, cars, even decorating our homes. But what if true happiness is still possible... somewhere inside of us. We all have goals and aspirations, whether or not they seem realistic in the scope of our lives. Perhaps it's only fair we give our most beautiful dreams a fair shot. Noah and his group of misfits are on the low end of the corporate totem pole, regarded as numbers on every level. There are only two ways of surviving – embrace the system, work hard and move up the ladder quickly, or get out before your life becomes a living hell. Not everyone is cut out for it, but perhaps it's the ultimate test of character...

	RICOCHET: Tableau Vivant Nouveau Throughout May 2007, a brand new series of paintings was featured at Paradigm Art Gallery by Michael Pukac. The month long event called "Ricochet" featured the new series of paintings as well as a few surprises within the gallery. A brand new project called Tableau Vivant Nouveau: "Art Come to Life", featured two of the paintings actually coming to life through a scene designed to replicate the paintngs and also featured performance artists bringing the piece to life through music, song, dance, and puppetry. The shows were a great success and got reviews from the Sarasota Herald Tribune and Creative Loafing, as well as the cover image on Senses Magazine May 2007 issue.
