The House Of Fire, a feature-length documentary about the Earth Liberation Front, follows the story of key activists who founded the underground eco-sabotage group best known for torching the Vail Ski Area in October of 1998. The story includes the participation of the FBI’s Special Agent who led Operation Backfire, the FBI’s 10-year investigation that ultimately put many of the arsonists behind bars.

PRODUCTION
"Blood of the Amazon" A feature length documentary in post production –When most people think of the Amazon they think of the vast forests being cut down, this is only one of the devastating impacts of modern civilization. An oil boom is happening in the upper Amazon. Driven by increasing global demand and rising crude prices, the last remaining, untapped reserves laying underneath pristine rainforest are now on the auction block. New pipelines are crisscrossing the jungle and new roads are being built to reach the drilling sites far into the once untouched wilderness.
