In 1996, just before graduating from Bentley University, Chapman co-founded an
independent film production company, Random Foo Pictures, with
Dan Gorgone. Chapman acted in, produced and directed a number of
short films, including
Inquisition. His experience marketing the group's projects led to his online promotion, networking, and sharing media online. Chapman started his first
blog in July 2001, his first podcast in December 2004, and opened a music cafe in the virtual world of
Second Life in November 2006. ==Podcasting==
