Current Projects

Vague Space (Photo-Sculptural Documentary, ongoing) Mixed media installation–still photography transferred onto found objects, paired with interview audio recordings–that explores the opioid crisis in Massachusetts. The goal of the finished project is to focus attention on cycles of addiction and the unseen people and places of our local communities.

Seeing RED 2, (Video Documentary, in production)

Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative seeks to reduce the number of youth locked up around the nation. Their latest focus is families who experience racial and ethnic disparities in the juvenile justice system. This film will share stories from families who have faced that disparity head-on.

Life in the Vague (Video Essay, 2022)

An examination of human displacement comprised of still images, fleeting video, and voiceover observations from the visual ethnographer in the field. The video weaves together encounters with people addicted to opioids and those with migrants on the coast of France. Both groups seek refuge and escape. Some find it in temporary fentanyl reverie, others in dreams of snatching a ride on a canvas-sided truck under the Channel to the UK–a better life. The similarities of these experiences are brought into stark relief through haunting images and observations of souls in transit.

Filmography/Documentary Projects

Twilight/Refuge (2019, Photo Documentary) The project weaves together the harrowing stories of residents in a UNHCR refugee camp, migrants attempting illegal crossings from France to the UK and several newly arrived Syrian refugee families and their integration into the Massachusetts communities in which they live. This dreadful tapestry will reveal the difficulty faced by migrants and shambles of a response (or lack thereof) to a global crisis.

Sustainable Careers (2018, educational video) This video is about the importance of sustainability awareness in the context of business education at Bentley University. In this project, I am collaborating with the Office of Sustainability to tell the stories of how and why professionals and companies use sustainable business practices in their careers and operations. The aim of the film is to convey to Bentley students the importance of the triple bottom line–people, profits and planet–that increasingly plays a key role in the decisions and operations of their future employers. Flight (2017, documentary short) The film chronicles the harrowing stories of two newly arrived Syrian refugee families and their integration into the Massachusetts communities in which they live. While both families wish to return to Syria one day they are doing their best to fit and and become productive members of our society.

Seeing RED, JDAI Video (2016, documentary) Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative seeks to reduce the number of youth locked up around the nation. Their latest focus is to address the racial and ethnic disparities present in the juvenile justice system. This film will address the root causes of the problem and provide examples of systemic changes that can reduce the disparity minorities face within the system. Peek-A-Boo (2015, Narrative Short, Editor) A dark fairytale about a frazzled stay-at-home Dad, his frolicsome daughter, and the game he refuses to play. Control YourSelf (2014, documentary) This Documentary uses crowd-sourced video content to examine the connected lives we lead in the adolescence of the information age. Focusing on the niche community of ordinary individuals who post performances of popular songs on YouTube, the film ruminates on expectations of privacy, notoriety and community in the digital age. Vision: The PORTSfuture Project (2011, documentary) in distribution A Community outreach documentary intended to raise community awareness about the former Department of Energy uranium enrichment site in Piketon, OH. The film and integrated website will encourage local residents to become involved in the debate and decision-making process for the future of the facility once it has been cleaned up and vacated. By weaving together video, still photos and social networking features the site will become a gathering place for community discussion of an issue which concerns several southeast Ohio counties. Imago (2010, experimental short) The accuracy of memory, the distance between memories and the present and the fragility of existence are examined through this short reflexive montage. The film collides text, visuals, sounds and spoken words to confound the artists’ own nostalgia and youthful sense of immortality. The Art of the Possible (2009, documentary) distributed by NETA This feature length documentary film–sponsored by the American Cancer Society and endorsed by the Livestrong Foundation–looks beyond the biomedical model of treatment for children with cancer. It examines the use of narrative practices to involve both patients and their families in treatment in ways that improve patients overall quality of life. The film focuses on the work of Dr. Peter Anderson and several of his patients who are not only depicted in the film, but had a great deal of input into what made it into the final cut by filming much of the footage themselves. The filmmakers worked in partnership with M. D. Anderson Medical Center, University of Texas in Houston, as well as the American Cancer Society and The Ohio University Scripps College of Communication. The Last Dance (2008, documentary) distributed by Too Much Media This Emmy award winning documentary chronicles the life and work of world-renowned sculptor David Hostetler. Told through the creation of Hostetler's latest sculpture–hewn from a tree Hostetler planted himself nearly 50 years ago–the work becomes a metaphor for a life well-lived and the nature of the creative process. At 80 years old, David looks back over the course of his life and his artistic accomplishments with his trademark wit and quirkiness. Plan F (2006, documentary) distributed by Icarus Films Ed Marko is an average auto mechanic in every way but one; he’s never seen any of the cars he works on. Childhood disease left Ed without his sight but not his spirit. After a career of social work, he discovered a new passion for fixing cars. Through creative camera techniques and a cinema verité approach, Plan F shines a spotlight on Ed Marko and the saliencies of being sightless in sighted world. Half-life in Heavy Water (2005, documentary) In 1958, the U.S. Air Force lost a live nuclear bomb off the coast of Georgia that has never been recovered. The bomb’s presence lingers in the minds of many local residents, whose attitudes toward the missing bomb vary widely. Theories about the location of the bomb, the threat it poses, and how it should be disposed of abound, with an attendant proliferation of media coverage, local myth, and screenplays. The story details a nearly-forgotten character of the Cold War whose relevance is revived by the War on Terror and highlights diverging impulses in understanding and reckoning with the dangers in our own backyards. Chosen for 6th Annual Public Television Mentorship Sessions, sponsored by the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers to establish personal relationships between independent producers and members of PBS’ Senior Programming staff; to gain insight on a specific project and get concrete suggestions for the final cut based on public television requirements and discover PBS' inclinations toward content. Looking Down (2003, experimental short) In a time when military intelligence technology can pinpoint a man tying his shoelaces from miles above the Earth, the question is no longer "What can we see?" but "what do we know?" Looking Down highlights the disparity between information and understanding in the age of technology and what it means for US-world relations by interrogating the current situation in Iraq. 2nd place, animation/experimental, First Look Student Film Festival, 2004 South Africa Awakening (2000, documentary) Shot on location in South Africa, this film chronicles the social and political changes involved in the country's transition from apartheid to multiracial democracy. 1st place, best television feature broadcast, College Media Advisers, 2001
