SATURDAY BOOK SIGNING, with writer Doris Mangrum
March 13 & 20, Saturday 3-4pm, FREE

Doris Mangrum is a long time advocate for disenfranchised families. She is the owner of Saidiana(in Swahili, help each other) Productions whose mission is to provide books, art and media productions that highlight the plight of families affected by incarceration and rally support for this often forgotten group. Doris is also the author of "After the Bungy Jump . . There's Still A Lot of Jerking Goin' On" (TM) a story that follows the mother during her eight years of incarceration, while taking a look from the family's perspective during that same period. This gives the reader an opportunity to give each side a chance to voice "their piece" and a unique look from both sides of the bars.

Doris as featured in Fast Imaging September 2009 Newsletter

Fast Imaging at Work

One of our customers, Doris I. Mangrum, is an author, filmmaker and speaker. She has produced a documentary, Stains, that deals with incarceration and its impact on families.

Doris has been out on the speaking circuit and she needed some signage that would be distinctive, yet transportable and affordable.

Fast Imaging created two retractable tradeshow display signs that are 36"wide x 84" tall, made of blackout vinyl.

The signs fit into carrying cases that can be checked baggage on airplanes. They are easy to assemble--the signs fit on stands that adjust to the size of the sign.

Doris can expect these signs to withstand a lot of abuse as she packs them to her engagements, but the best part? They look great and provide excellent visibility for her film and book.
