Since 2006 I have been working with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Orange County’s Relatives as Parents Program (RAPP), to increase visibility of this valuable program. Initially, I produced a documentary short, RAPP: Family Portraits (2006), which was the National Winner of the National Extension Assoc. for Family and Consumer Sciences 2006 award.  Following this, I produced a commercial for the program, as well as a video representing cultural history projects that RAPP families were developing.  For copies of these pieces, please contact me directly.

Currently in production, the “Let’s Talk About...” series is about education and communication. In association with Alan Smith, I’m creating a series of videos and powerpoints designed to help foster discussion around sensitive issues facing today’s youth. By using humor and alternative education methods, we hope that these materials will encourage kids and parents to engage in discussions around some rather tough issues. The topics consist of: Social Networking, Media Literacy, Cyberbullying, Post-High School, and Environmental & Social Responsibility.  Take a look at some of the videos/presentations below.
