If you are a fan of the arts, enjoy great conversation, a good meal, a nice glass of wine and the company of fun-loving friends, you'll enjoy visiting Culture City.
At this moment, Culture City is in development. Currently, the City includes arts and cultural videos and pictures I've taken and /or glimpses of performances I find fascinating.
My life is filled with art and culture because they are my passion.
From architecture, to dance, design, culinary arts, fashion, fine arts, film, language, literary arts, television, new media, music, performing arts and photography, Culture City is the place where these disciplines thrive!
Visit often.

Cultivating The Next Generation Of Arts And Culture Lovers
Culture City Kids is an online “Edutainment” service for children ages 5 through 17. Our city fuses technology, education, arts and culture and the most important ingredient: children and their parents. It was created to promote the arts and build self-esteem in children. The project based learning service is both educational and entertaining.
The Dream Team, creating the virtual world is made up of former PBS producers and educators. Opal Comfort, the founder, is an Emmy award-winning broadcaster, a former PBS producer and teacher, and member of Edutopia, George Lucas’ Foundation, developing innovative and successful education strategies.
Fourteen buildings represent fourteen disciplines in the metropolis named Culture City Kids

My current project has been challenging and fun. I'm creating an online creative community for children. I hope to launch the first virtual playground of its kind in 2010.
The Pre-launch of Culture City Kids is scheduled for Sunday, October 3!
Opal Comfort is a producer who writes, shoots and edits stories featuring talented and thinking artists. Her latest project is a virtual place created for children. The edutainment service is a 501(c)3 and its pre-launch took place in October 2010.

Monday, November 28, 2011 at 4:17AM ALMA EN BOCA, The Afro-Peruvian Story
The birth and transformation of Afro-Peruvian culture is interpreted through the fusion of Contemporary Dance and Afro-Peruvian folklore. ALMA EN BOCA, an elaborated tale of re-invention, social structure, and cultural expression voices out through the rhythms of the Cajon, live singers, and energetic performers.
Monday, September 26, 2011 at 3:24AM I recently attended the premiere of a new movie, Crazy Love. The movie was written, produced and shot by local talent and features actors and actresses from South Florida. Crazy Love tells the story of a man's obsession with getting his wife back. While sabataging his former wife's attemps at dating, the star of the film meets and old friend and in the end there's a surprising twist.
Friday, August 5, 2011 at 8:54AM As pop culture evolves so does the Queen of Frivolity. Wendy Williams, radio and TV host, recenty visited my neighborhood and discussed hot topics, answered burning audience questions and gave good career advice. She's a girl after my own heart who loves family, Marc Anthony and having fun. The self-proclaimed "Empress of Tacky," waxed and waned on working in television, wigs and writing on Facebook walls. What wit!
Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at 12:58AM This summer I found a new love, Italy. Teaming with tourists, Florence, Rome and Naples proved to be as beautiful as I imagined. The architecture, history and art is beyond words. And, yes, I will return to see my love again.
Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 2:54AM Yesterday I attended TEDXHamburg. There were smart speakers, as you would imagine, inspiring the audience with innovative ideas. But something very interesting happened during the lunch break. One of the sponsors of the event had a display about a film they were making called "Linotype the Film." After they showed me the film's trailer and I shared with them my father's story.
Austin Rudfin, my father, was a linotype operator at the Gleaner in Jamaica and at Gertz Brothers in New York for over 45 years. When we were children, he'd take us to work and have our names engraved on lead, as the film demonstrates.
The Miami Herald, where I worked for several years, also displays a linotype machine in its building.
There are many things I like about the way this director from Springfield, Missouri is telling the linotype story.
