A Face In The Crowd 

It was only after being in front of a camera that Cheryl Hutton realized how much she would rather be behind it. When strangers started to approach her on the streets of Ohio, where she used to model in local commercials, “It really started bothering me that they knew who I was.” Hutton is now much more content as a producer for Film House, a local film and production company. Now developing spots for the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service that educate deployed forces on everything from suicide prevention to financial management, Hutton’s role as a producer encompasses everything from finding locations to collaborating with the director on the shoot. She keeps her cool and her loyal crews happy thanks to her motto, found on her coffee mug: No whining. “If you get all wigged out about something, it’s going to go to hell even more, because you’ve got 20 people looking at you going, 'Well, what are you going to do?’ If you freak, then they have no leader. And you just can’t do that. That’s just kind of the way I live.”
