Filmmakers Christopher Rufo and Keith Ochwat have produced two films for PBS: Roughing It: Mongolia, an adventure travel program, and Diamond in the Dunes, a feature documentary about a Muslim baseball team in Chinaʼs Wild West. They are also in post-production on a third film about the Senior Olympic Games. They have received wide media attention and critical acclaim, including:

“Good eye for the unusual … fascinating material” — New York Times
“Infectious curiosity sets these two Northern California guys apart” — SF Chronicle
“Show-stoppers” — Sacramento Bee

Rufo and Ochwat started the Documentary Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, in 2007. The Doc School is an integral part of the Foundationʼs community outreach and education initiative. Rufo and Ochwat are Sacramento natives and enjoy sharing their filmmaking experience with our community’s next generation of filmmakers.
