I was part of production team that was asked to produce a video to encourage “another hundred years” of US mission spirit. We traveled to Thailand, Mexico and the United States and asked modern-day missionaries what they do, why they do it, and what mission means for them.

Aging Out

The film follows young people as they exit foster care and become parents, battle drug addiction, face homelessness, and even end up in jail. Despite their struggles, the film also shows these teenagers using the resiliency they developed during their years “in the system” to take control of their lives. It also forces us to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the public systems that serve these youth, as well asthe roles that private citizens and organizations can play.

The Third Monday In October

admin — Sun, 23 May 2010 19:22:28 +0000

In the fall of 2004, amidst the heavily campaigned months of what was called the most important American election in modern times, Producer/Director, Vanessa Roth led a team of award winning filmmakers into the heart of the campaigns and elections on which millions of families across the country focused; Not the presidential race between President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry, but the Presidential elections of their 12 year old sons and daughters vying for the promise of leading their middle school student councils. Taking an intimate journey with 12 of these young candidates from 4 schools across the United States as they enter their races, through their campaigning, slogan writing, poster making, public speaking and debates — and up until the final emotional and dramatic day of school elections (often held on the third Monday in October) we see a true slice of American politics — raw and uncensored through the eyes and votes of 12 year olds.

I shoot all of the Hall Middle school and Francisco Middle school segments. Fred Runner was are sound recordist.
