Fractured States
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
Fractured States is a story about the cost of change and how three families confront the brutality of a system now profiting from the same plant that sent them to prison.
This film became my attempt to understand the impossible contradictions at the center of cannabis legalization. What does justice look like when an industry rises from the source of so much punishment and pain? Who gets to come home, who gets to profit, and who remains trapped inside the cost of the old system?
Road To Reconcile
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
When I began filming Road To Reconcile, I was drawn to the strange and powerful contrast of U.S. veterans returning to Vietnam — not as soldiers, but as peace activists, neighbors, and partners in repair.
Set along what the locals call, “the boulevard of no joy” I saw what repair looks like when history is still underfoot. I learned that sometimes healing begins where so much was lost, and that a former enemy can become the person standing beside you.
Echoes of Vietnam
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
Echoes of Vietnam began with a simple but powerful question: what kind of strength does it take to survive the loss of not just your family, your home but also your country?
From the Fall of Saigon to the floodwaters of New Orleans, this film is a bridge to understanding how resilience can become inheritance, how memory can become strength, and how a community finds its way back after everything is taken.
