NAZARETH, ISRAEL – I produced this piece for Global Nomads Group and the Aspen Writers foundation about two communities that are minutes apart but rarely interact – Arab and Jewish high school students from Haifa and Nazareth in Israel. The video follows these two groups as they come together for the first time to engage in Story Swap International, a groundbreaking program that employs the art of storytelling to build bridges of understanding.

NEW YORK CITY – I filmed and edited this video for the organizations Rainforest Relief and New York Climate Action Group’s joint campaign Rainforests of New York.

In a span of two days our crew biked to sites in New York City, which use tropical hardwoods for benches, boardwalks, decking, ferry docks and subway track ties. Although Mayor Bloomberg has called “tropical deforestation an ecological calamity”, the city remains the largest consumer of tropical hardwoods in North America. The video was edited in time to broadcast online for Earth Week 2010.

The New York Times featured the video in their City Room blog.

NEW YORK CITY – Just finished this video for an Earthjustice campaign geared to protect rural children from pesticides.

Each year, nearly one billion pounds of pesticides are sprayed into fields and orchards around the country. As the families who live nearby can tell you, those pesticides don’t always stay in the fields and orchards.

Most of the footage was shot on flipCams and the music was written and donated by the very awesome Dougie Bowne.

NEW YORK CITY – I worked on the graphics for this documentary that tells the “story behind a project involving the U.S. government (USAID), the mass media, and ex-gang members in Guatemala. The story follows the testimonials of several ex-gang members who participated in a TV reality show broadcast in Guatemala to indicate to businessmen that it was possible to transform ex gang members into “young business entrepreneurs.”"
