I am absolutely thrilled to have been accepted to attend the CPB/PBS Producer’s Academy this June, along with my Work In Progress Film “A Fragile Trust” about the Jayson Blair/New York Times debacle of 2003. This is truly an amazing opportunity to work directly with the best folks in the business and learn exactly what I need to do to get my film to an audience that will really appreciate it. I’m so excited!
I am proud to have worked as Associate Producer on Jon Palfreman’s latest film “Sick Around America” which was broadcast on FRONTLINE on March 31st. “Sick Around America” is an important film that takes a hard look at the current state of our health care system while examining what really needs to happen if change is to take place. If you missed the broadcast, you can watch the whole film here:

I spent much of the last 2 months following around some amazing young musicians to see what it takes to get serious about music while you’re still in High School. Molly Tuttle is a bluegrass prodigy, and Finish Ticket, a band of boys from Alameda, are indie pop rockers with talent and style to spare. Check ‘em out here:
I’ve been shooting live shows for the Noise Pop Music Festival for the past several years & finally, some of the footage is available online! There is also a long-format documentary about the festival being put together now, but for the moment, you can check out a few of the shows here:
Jon Vanderslice
The Submarines
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
So Many Dynamos
Roky Erickson
Damien Jurado
Had a lot of fun shooting a bunch of live shows for Pandora’s new “Pandora Presents” video series. Notably, shoots with Von Iva, Matt Nathanson, and The Spinto Band. The Matt Nathanson and Spinto Band shoots also involved production for a couple of mini-docs I’m producing about what life on the road is like for these guys. For now, check out some great live concert videos here:
Matt Nathanson: “Come on Get Higher”
The Spinto Band: “Summer Grof”
Von Iva: “La La”
Happy to report that the short film I produced about Fair Trade Roses in Ecuador was also selected to screen as part of Green Festival 2008 in DC.
