Larry accepting Scientific and Technical Academy Award

Larry apprenticed as a projectionist and stagehand followed by several years of freelance work before the creation of BL&S. He is a commercial pilot and flight instructor who owns a seven seat Piper.

Chapin Cutler, Principal and co-founder
Chapin thought he wanted to become a research chemist until he discovered movies. He trained as a projectionist while first attending college at Worcester Tech. "I was hooked by the SHOW", he says, "There's something exhilarating about watching an audience react to a film and know that I made it happen for them."

Chapin received degrees from both Emerson College and Wentworth Institute in film and related engineering fields. After a stint in film production and technical management experience at Emerson and the WGBH-TV (Boston's public television outlet) film department he started BL&S, which has been a passion ever since.
