I have produced and directed numerous fiction and non-fiction films. This work has been screened at museums as well as film festivals nationally and international.

Interesting documentary that filmmaker William Farley wrote/directed/produced, entitled, "I Wanted To Be A Man With A Gun,"––about three soldiers in WWII speaking openly about their experiences as young men at war. (Watch trailer at his website). I'm proud to have been a consultant on this award-winning project.
