I ama documentary filmmaker and freelance media professional. I work as producer/director/writer/editor and occasional cameraman. My credits includes the feature documentary Paper Clips, on which I was director, co-producer, demo editor, and post-production supervisor.
I am currently co-producing and directing the feature documentary The Town They Left Behind, based on the tragic experience of Bedford, Virginia. The town lost more soldiers per capita on D-Day than any other US community. The film traces the lives of the town, the soldiers, and their families as a means of examining the effects and costs of war.
I remain at work on an ambitious cultural documentary about The Tale of Genji, a 1000-year-old Japanese documentary and its long influence upon Japanese and international culture. I am coming to the end of a period working under a National Endowment for the Humanities "Consultation" grant, which has funded some additional R&D for the film.
I am also lead producer/director/writer and editor for Musical Wizards, and long-form documentary about a wonderful collection of creative people who invent new musical instruments.
In 2005 I directed a one-hour film for Discovery Science Channel on the scientific and technological innovations provided to world culture by Ancient India, which was first broadcast in May 2006.
My many other credits include being Supervising Producer for programs for The Discovery Channel and the History Channel, both on military subjects. The Discovery project profiled the US military's elite HALO training, which prepares America's most capable soldiers to jump out of airplanes at very high altitudes to land in secret to carry out the most dangerous and delicate operations. The History Channel project carried out a step-by-step examination of the Battle of Iwo Jima, employing custom-created animation to visualize elements for which no archival materials exist. In many respects this film is the predecessor to the History Channel's current series, Dogfights.
