Symphony for Nature(2018) This half hour documentary captures the world premiere of “Natural History,” an original composition inspired by and performed at Oregon’s breathtaking Crater Lake. More than a performance the event had the effect of an art installation, enveloping the audience in the natural world and mingling music with the natural soundscape. It was a treat to experience the event vicariously as the film’s editor, working alongside director Anne Flatté. The film was broadcast on PBS stations nationally, garnering two regional Emmy Nominations and has played in numerous film festivals. Here you see the film's trailer.

Strings in the Temple(2015) When Chuck Prophet considered re-releasing his record, Temple Beautiful, he thought "maybe we'll re-imagine it with strings." And so he enlisted an 8 piece string section to join him in a live performance of the album. Prophet also enlisted director Darrel Flowers to capture the event. Flowers orchestrated an 8 camera shoot of the concert and then brought the footage to me for editorial and color correction. The resultant hour long film includes the full performance plus interstitial scenes from rehearsals. It won a Van Gogh Award for documentary directing at the 2015 Amsterdam International Film Festival. Here you see the film's trailer which I also cut.

Watershed(2012) During the final weeks of post-production on director Mark Decena's Watershed: Exploring A New Water Ethic For The New West I worked as additional editor on this feature length documentary. Since its release the film has played in festivals and community screenings across the country and around the world. I also cut the film's official trailer that you see here.

The Big Picture(2012) Official trailer for director James Redford's HBO documentary The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia. After cutting this trailer I continued to work with Redford as additional editor on the film itself.
