- About my films:
- I have two documentaries -
" Chaos and Order: Making American Theater" as director. This is a look at the current state of American theater through the voices of 22 actors, directors, producers, administrators, and designers. Many notable figures in theater are interviewed. This was done in collaboration with the New England Institute of Art and the American Repertory Theater where Andre Serban's 2004 production of Pericles is profiled.
Just being completed is "Radical Jesters" as writer, director, and producer. This is a look at the work and the issues linking 12 "interventionists”, performance artists, and Situationists.
The film is a collaboration of students, musicians, and the artists themselves. It is outrageous and amusing, but full of important questions regarding media and commercial culture.
