Avenue of Aspirations: 
16th Street and Washington DC

Who would think that a seven mile street could be a microcosm of America: its diversity, its spirituality, its expansion, its culture of ambition, and its love-hate relationship with change?  This has been the role of 16th Street, a thoroughfare into the heart, history, and homes of Washington DC. 

In Production.

Crucible of War: 

What happens to ordinary people after the war is over and the news cameras and aid workers have moved on to new hotspots?  Using the example of the Balkans, we meet ordinary people who never thought war could happen to them.  People who have found vastly different ways of dealing with their fears and displacement on a daily basis.

45 minute.  Available on DVD and VHS through the National Film Network.

Talking Threads:

Eight questions. Infinite answers. Talking Threads documents the hopes, fears, dreams, and psyches of a generation simply by asking the questions we have all been asking ourselves since September 11, 2001. 

14 minute, online documentary hosted through OneWorldTV.
