Our mission is to produce films that combine emotional personal stories with thoughtful social and political commentary. We have produced four films for PBS, Netflix, Amazon, and international television:
AGE OF CHAMPIONS
Age of Champions is the award-winning PBS documentary following five competitors who sprint, leap, and swim for gold at the National Senior Olympics.
DIAMOND IN THE DUNES
Diamond in the Dunes tells the story of the arrival of baseball in China’s Xinjiang Province, which students hope will bridge the racial divide between Uighur Muslims and the ruling Han Chinese.
ROUGHING IT: MONGOLIA
Roughing It: Mongolia is a PBS adventure travel documentary that features encounters with nomadic reindeer herders, Mongolian throat singers, and a traditional Siberian shaman.

I’ve produced four documentaries for PBS, Netflix, Amazon, and theatrical distribution. My last documentary, Age of Champions, grossed $1.5 million and reached more than 3 million viewers around the world.
