Standing with Standing Rock
As the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) snaked across Sioux lands disturbing sacred sites, polluting Mother Earth and disregarding human rights, only a small band of Water Protectors stood in it’s way. Yet beyond the very real horrors on the front-lines there were still smiles and laughter and prayer which are more powerful than any corrupt politician, snarling policeman, or barking attack dogs.
‘Standing with Standing Rock’ goes inside camp to meet the brave men and women warriors of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe who are the heart and soul of the movement. Mni wiconi! (Water is Life!)

More recently he has traveled throughout Europe shooting promotional videos for various American Study Abroad programs and taught filmmaking as well as cinema marketing at a top international business school in Paris.
Currently he is teaching screenwriting and pre-visualization at university in Amsterdam and is writing screenplays and producing short-projects for Netflix consideration.
