For Love of Julian (Narrated by Susan Sarandon) is an inspired and personal documentary about multiply handicapped, medically fragile children. Featuring the director's son, the movie dispels the fears and mysteries surrounding these children. At once impassioned and unsentimental, For Love of Julian is a recognition of the humanity in these children, and a plea for the rest of us to honor and nurture humanity in all its myriad forms.

Country Heritage
A successful businessman appropriates the life of a struggling artist in this contemporary/classic drama, which explores love & hate, power & impotence, sorrow & serenity, loneliness & lineage.

JACOB HARRIS is a successful wall street entrepreneur and the product of an abusive single father. When his estranged mother dies, Jacob discovers he has a younger brother, RYAN a dreamer and a romantic - the product of a nurturing single mother.

Jacob deals with these newfound circumstances the way he deals with arbitrage. He takes advantage of his brothers state of imbalance, appropriates his possessions, and tries to steal the love of his life, ERICA.

The under story is steeped with stories from the rural countryside - hunting, antiques, farmland, real estate boons, and is permeated throughout with Greek mythology. Jacob is the handsome God a War (Ares). His brother Ryan, is the crippled craftsman ("Hephaestus").

The Boneman

The Boneman is a feature-length documentary about the life and work of Gendron Jensen, an artist who has passionately devoted his existence to an artistic calling from within. His medium is simple-- graphite on paper. He draws detailed, precise, and wondrous images of bones. Sometimes they are solitary bones and at other times they are juxtaposed with other species. They are always executed in a way that leaves the viewer with a newfound respect for the wonders of our natural world.


The Fall of Hungarian Cinema
   Graham Petrie’s “History Must Answer to Man” accurately states the fact that Hungarian cinema, ‘by the early 70’s was acknowledged as the most consistently interesting in Eastern Europe and one of the more significant features in European cinema as a whole.’ Mr. Petrie, in his book about contemporary Hungarian Cinema also states that on the whole, Hungarian Cinema has been ignored by the English speaking world or at the very least misunderstood and misinterpreted. The author attributes this to ‘the notorious cultural laziness, blindness and arrogance of Anglo Saxon society.’ (more)
