unite people

Name: Margareta Paslaru
Title: Producer, "M"Soul Productions
Resides: Summit
Age: 60
"When we are young we struggle to make a name for
ourselves. Becoming mature, we must use that 'name' in helping
others."
That's the motto of "M"Soul Productions, based in Summit. The brainchild
of Margareta Paslaru, "M" Soul encopasses everything from
award winning
local television programing to international initiatives. "International" is a key word. Prior to
moving to the United States xx years ago,
Paslaru was - and still is - a major celebrity in her
native Romania, having
"made a name" for herself in film and television, on
stage, and as a recording artist.
However, her endeavors on these shores have not solely
been the promotion of her
career but of assorted humanitarian interest, from the
award wining "Impromptu-Art"
television program on TV36 to her work in promoting
International Children's Day
throughout the country.
This past year, Paslaru was honored with
a national Telly Award as producer of
"Impromptu-Art," giving testament to the far-reaching
appeal of her local
programing. Another of her programs, "Human Mosaics," is
simply that - a mosaic of humanity
and humanitarian topics. In addition she produces two
other programs for TV36.
Her work in promoting International Children's Day has
united the city of Summit
with both San Francisco and Washington D.C., creating an
exchange of children's
artwork that was exbited in all three towns. In addition,
artwork was shared with
several other countries.
"We can create a better society starting
with the youngsters," she said, "because
then is when they are so impressionable and you can mold
them. It's like a
wonderful material to play with it, to create a new
person, which is thefuture." Paslaru served as the catalys in creating a collaboration
between Summit Mayor Walter Long and the mayors of San
Francisco and Washington.
"Mayor Long
was extraordinary," she said. "I'm so grateful to him."

Having spent years in front of the camera in Romania, she
took courses to learn
the technical aspects of television production. She now
handles everything from
concept to script development to editing to post
production. In her passion for art,
she points out that "everything is done by an
artist," from a painting to the design
of building to the creation of a decorative teacup.
Through her diversification, and her celebrity, she feels
she's able to open doors
for others, whether she's raising awarness of an issue by
producing a documentary,
aiding children worldwide by spear-heading a national
partnership between
communities, or helping everyday people by lending her
"name" to worthwhile
causes, both here and abroad."Every artist creates a
step," she said, "for the
rise of new talents."
