Current Projects
I am cutting my recent feature experimental documentary, THE HERETICS, 95 min., 2009 from its current length to a 52 minute "TV length" because of interest from many European TV channels and working on distributing the film. Would like to continue working on the Digital Archive I started with Hampshire student for the Office of the Historian in la habana, Cuba, which we had to temporarily abandon due to Bush changes in rules for visiting Cuba. This is a Jan Term course I would like to continue in the next few years.
