RUNNER (2017) – 25 min, Narrative Short We disentangle the punishing psyche of a woman in isolation and in training. Her day to day regimen of conditioning and preparation casts doubt on the normalcy of her existence, and, of the world that surrounds her. Her makeshift solitude begins to unravel as distant memories – a daughter, a marriage – refuse to remain hidden, transforming her journey into one of body and spirit. From physical routine to a chance encounter, confronting her past becomes the final, remaining breakthrough standing between her survival and her destruction.

GOOGLE SMALL BUSINESS STORIES – 1.5-2 min, Commercial Docuseries Google-commissioned business owner vignettes into their origin stories – what got them started, the passion that keeps them going, and the hope of what is next to come. We follow these inspiring day-to-day heroes as we see the impact they provide to their employees and the communities they serve. Businesses featured: Manitobah Mukluks (Winnipeg, Canada) & Zyrobotics (Atlanta, Georgia)
