I Cannot Be a Bystander  (in production) (Director/Producer)

With antisemitism and other identity-based hate on the rise in the United States, we must not become a nation of bystanders. Holocaust survivors, members of targeted communities, civic and religious leaders, students and scholars challenge us to ask ourselves, “how can I make a difference in this world by speaking out against hate?” and inspire us to find our voice.

This film is currently in production with an anticipated release date in 2025.

Margaret Singer: Seeking Light (2019) (Producer/Cinematographer)

The extraordinary life and art of 97 year old Margaret Singer, a survivor whose unique and beautiful outlook on life colors everything that surrounds her.

Behind the Lines: Fighting a Wildland Fire (2009) (Director/Producer)

Behind the Lines: Fighting a Wildland Fire takes a look at the men and women behind the scenes of a California Wildfire. This is a rare look at the people and activities in a base camp, and the sheer magnitude of effort needed to support the firefighters. From the woman who brings portable showers to national incidents, to the Incident Commander himself, this film goes beyond what is ever seen on the news, and may answer some questions for the public who wonder "why can't they just put this thing out?"

We Played Marbles: Remembering a Stolen Childhood (2008) (Co-Director/Producer)

Santa Barbara area Holocaust Survivors illuminate the rich European Jewish culture that was systematically destroyed by Nazi tyranny.  Through the stories of the few who escaped we come to know how much was lost.  11 Survivors recount their earliest childhood memories of their lives in Hungary, Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Germany.  They share their memories of how their lives were abruptly and forever changed, of  the dramatic and deeply sad events that transpired, of the loved ones who perished and of the courageous ones who pulled them to safety.  These stories are infused with the wisdom and the strength that is born out of building life after loss.
