Unique Vision
The following excerpts from various projects were selected to demonstrate the approach, vision and execution I have applied to different subjects
that has resulted in filmic moments that are uniquely resonant.
Mythos
Spectacle - The Sorcerers of Rock n' Roll
This anthropological music series explores the ascension of our most gifted rock stars into messengers and shamans through their creative collaboration with the lighting and stage design wizards who transform stage shows into spectacles - mythic performances that fulfill our need for tribal ritual and a transcendent experience.
Transference of Wisdom
A Thousand Roads
I initiated and produced the docudrama signature film for the Smithsonian's Nat'l. Museum of the American Indian and co-authored the screenplay with Poet Laureate Joy Harjo (Muscogee/Creek). Our vision was clear - to translate and transfer the wisdom of our characters and their tribes within the spiritual matrix and stories of indigenous people of the Western Hemisphere.

Intimacy

Intimacy

American Renegade -
Confessions of a Radical Humanist
For 75 years, Abe Osheroff raged against injustice. Abe was my friend and challenging mentor. So I had unique access to capture this intimate biographical film about Abe's life and character - from activist to parent to lover to visionary to renegade -
a unique human experience.

The Hero's Journey
Jeff Garner - a Prophetik Story
I employed the arc of the classic "hero's journey" in this short promotional film to capture the arc of one man's mission to revolutionize the clothing industry - from his studio in Franklin, Tennessee where Garner enlisted James Cameron and his wife, Suzy, to stage a green fashion show on the streets of Nashville before storming London's Fashion Week with a stunning runway show.
