His dramatic blues film, TRAVELIN TRAINS, won over a dozen national and international film festival awards and continues to screen in art museum showcases over 30 years later. Always interested in a different approach to a story, he produced and directed a long run of immersive theater including a multi-media version of Thorton Wilder’s SKIN OF OUR TEETH; a grouping of Samuel Beckett’s short plays, PEOPLE DOING BECKETT, staged in and around a house; a pop-up theater piece staged at different LA coffeehouses entitled, ONE WEEKEND IN JUNE; and opened the second act of Keith Reddin’s play, LIFE DURING WARTIME, with a parade.

In 2000, he produced and directed one of the first web series, UNCONVENTIONAL, with 15 actors improvising scenes and staged around the protests at the Democratic Presidential Convention in Los Angeles. That year, he also Co-Produced, the Macarthur and CPB funded, 13-part series for PBS, SENIOR YEAR, overseeing a team of six young filmmakers following 15 students through their full last year in High School. He also produced and created the interactive website with KCET. He took that experience and helped blow it up for the GoPublic Project, coordinating 50 filmmakers in 28 public schools, all filming on the same day for the feature documentary, GO PUBLIC: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN AMERICAN SCHOOL DISTRICT. He continues his interest in New Media storytelling, recently producing two VR/360 projects for NOVA/WGBH.
