PBS / The American Experience / George Eastman: The Wizard of Kodak
The Kodak camera revolutionized photography, and, unexpectedly, offered a new tool to Peeping Toms. All the snapshots in the opening shot are originals -- it was surprisingly hard to find a couple photos that weren't properly centered.

The History Channel / This Week in History / Bottlecap
A fun and fast-paced history of the bottlecap. We filmed all the re-creations in a friend's office. Luckily my assistant was also a home-brewer.

Independent / Big Man Run
A clip from my one and only independent documentary, which tells the story of a unique road race in Somerville, MA. Yes, this is a true story. When I screened the film for a local film class, they thought I had made it up.
