I’m currently doing research for several documentary film projects. If you have a documentary film you’d like to produce or fund, reach out to see if it can be a meaningful collaboration. My work focuses on the human relationship to family, the environment, work, art, belief, and death.
Bury Me at Taylor Hollow premiered at the Nashville Film Festival, winning both the jury and audience award in the Tennessee films category. The film broadcasted across the country in 2022 as a part of Reel South Season 7.

Orion spent a month observing, participating in, and filming their way of life. This film is the result.
““When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.””
The English Summer was a recipient of the Albert P. Weisman Award.
