Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 28, 2014 -- A dedicated family man and long-time supporter of health and human services for children and families in Los Angeles, Emmy-award winning Hollywood director Rob Schiller is again showing support for the work of Friends of the Family at its annual Families Matter Benefit and Celebration.
