I am a writer and filmmaker and deejay based in Seattle. My latest film, The Last Picture Shows, is in the fine cut stage. Recently I completed the documentary feature Died Without Issue which is now screening on Gathr.com. Both films were executive produced by Foghorn Features.

Previous films include Slow Revolution,an homage to Chris Marker’s Sans Soleil; My Mother Was Here , which won the Audience Award at the Tacoma Film Festival and was an official selection of the 2019 Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival;30 Frames A Second: The WTO in Seattle , which won several Best Documentary awards, was named one of the Top Ten films of the year by the American Library Association, and one of the Best Undistributed Films of 2001 by The Village Voice; Quick Brown Fox: An Alzheimer’s Story, The Church on Dauphine Street (set in post-Katrina New Orleans), Zona Intangible, (set in a squatter city near Lima, Peru), False Promises, produced in tandem with the Wenatchi tribe of the Colville Reservation in Eastern Washington, and a profile of the making of the Olympic Sculpture Park, Art Without Walls.

My first book, Get Close: Lean Team Documentary Filmmaking is available from Oxford University Press. 

My debut novel, Hard Times in Babylon, is available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. Read a sample here and reader reviews here.

All of our documentaries can be rented or purchased from Vimeo On Demand.

I’m also a volunteer deejay for KBCS 91.3FM in Seattle, where I host Road Songs and the world music show, Night Train.

Along with writer-filmmaker Ann Hedreen, we co-founded White Noise Productions, which produced 200 short films for non-profits.
