  • JFK: For The Record

    JFK: For The Record (2013)
    Television by ReelzChannel (Documentary) Associate Producer JFK: For The Record is the fascinating first-hand account of Minnesota Federal Judge John R. Tunheim, the man selected by then-President Clinton to chair the JFK Assassination Records Review Board. Established by an Act of Congress, the ARRB had full and unfettered access to records from every agency connected to the assassination – the CIA, the FBI, the State Department – as well as records such as JFK’s autopsy. Judge Tunheim describes how he believes all of these records should have been made public back in the Sixties, and the difficulty of finding the records 30 years after the assassination. Additionally, Judge Tunheim describes the role the Oliver Stone movie JFK played in his work and answers the biggest question of all – did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone?

  • On Dragon's Wings

    On Dragon's Wings (2012)
    Film (Short, Drama and Family) Second Unit Director or Assistant Director A young boy struggles to get through to his mum because of his severe autism. This short film is made to raise more awareness about ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). When I saw the struggle people with autism and their relatives go through - every day - I realised: if only people would be able to take a look inside the world of someone with autism, if only people would understand a little of what it really means for them, many judgments and dismissive actions towards people with autism, can be turned into motivating and stimulating actions. Understanding is the key for a change of behaviour. It is my hope this film will create more of this understanding.
