Award-Winning Documentaries and Short Films

Marvel at the cinematic artistry that went into making my award-winning documentaries Kids of Penzance, featured on the Documentary Channel, and Queer City, which won qFLIX Best Feature Film.

Dangerous Music

This award-winning short film starred Welker White (Goodfellas) and Tony Award winner John Benjamin Hickey (The Normal Heart).

On television, Dangerous Music has been broadcast in nine countries.
