Biography
Documentary filmmaker. Winner of “Festival Favorite” at the Louisville International Festival of Film, and Certificate of Merit for Excellence in Historical Filmmaking from the Ogeechee International History Film Festival. News Director at Chelmsford Telemedia in Massachusetts.
Produced and directed several documentaries including “Peace Out”, a tale of a cross country journey in a VW bus, and “Troubled Waters”, about pollution in the Merrimack River. “Shantyboat: Rediscovering a River Way of Life” is my fourth documentary and first feature length film.
My next project, “Still Seeking Utopia”, reveals how visionaries and marginalized groups formed utopian communities when America failed to deliver on its promises, and left a lasting legacy on American culture, is in the works.
