About Bill

A director and producer of character-based documentaries such as
My Uncle Joe about the institutionalization and release to the community which had rejected him of Joe Rogers and his relationship to his family and how he walks through his world of Quincy, Massachusetts. Marginalized and now amplified and magnified Joe enriches us with his unique version of the Blues.
