              The result of over five years of Super 8 and 16mm filming on New York City streets, Lost Book Found melds documentary and narrative approaches into a complex meditation on city life. The piece revolves around a mysterious notebook filled with obsessive lists of places, objects, and incidents. These lists serve as the key to a hidden city.

              Suburbia, and all it promises, has become the American Dream. But as we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability of this way of life. With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow?

              There are two characters in The Cruise, director Bennett Miller's documentary debut: tour guide Timothy Levitch and New York, the city that barely contains his seemingly-boundless energy. This is not, however, a New York that can be found anywhere but on the screen of this black-and-white motion picture. It is a stylized, surreal window onto the city as Levitch sees it - a place where the past and the present collide, where lore is more important than historical accuracy, and where sexual gratification can be obtained by gazing at the ornate side of a building.

              While the housing bubble was deflating across the US, an explosion of demolition and construction was steadily transforming Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Open House documents the brutal nature of the development spree which occurred as a result of the neighborhood's re-zoning from light manufacturing/residential to the loosening of codes that allowed for forty-story towers on the waterfront. This video chronicles a neighborhood being literally torn apart by outside developers capitalizing on a frenzied housing market, and locals under pressure to “sell out” while the price is right.
