As a filmmaker, and independant scholar, I collaborate with institutions and individuals to create films inspired in narratives often overlooked by mainstream media.

Over a career that spans over three decades, I have the privilege to work in the biographical portrayals of Julian Bond, Rita Dove, James Monroe, Alice Parker, Evita, Daniel Chester French, and most recently Joy Brown and the Piccirilli Brothers. Other subjects of interest to my research resulting in award wining films currently being distributed to academic and public libraries are Black Fiddlers, Afro-Brazilian traditions of Samba and Carnival, Holocaust Survivors, and Latin American Art and Literature.

Associated institutions, and supporters of my documentary work include the University of Virginia, Unesco, James Madison's Montpelier, Museo Nacional de Bellas Aries, Columbus Citizens Foundation, The Morris and Alma Schapiro Fund​, The Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation, Instituto Nacional de Cine, National Endowment for Arts, and PBS.
