My research/creative activity at the University of Florida consists of writing,
directing and producing video and film programs.  In reverse chronological
order, the films/videos I have produced are:

Santa Rules (2007), a half-hour television drama about the existence of Santa Claus.

A Second Chance (2004), a 75-minute drama about an old, Florida couple who discover the fountain of youth. This project was made in conjunction with WUFT-TV, the PBS-affiliate in Gainesville, Florida.

Celebration 2000 (2000), an 11-minute promotional video to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of a department of journalism course and the 50th anniversary of the founding of a School of Journalism and Communications at the University of Florida. The video looks at the history of the College, where it's at today, and where it's headed in the future.

Catherine's Story (1999), an 81-minute drama on domestic
abuse, drawing on a short story entitled "Athenaise", written by Kate Chopin
at the turn of the century.  This project was made possible by a $23,740 grant
from ITVS (Independent Television Service), a $4,500 UF College of Journalism and Communication research summer grant, and by the participation of Valencia College's Dept. of Motion Picture Technology (in Orlando), where I was a filmmaker in residence.
     Please Note: A 60-minute version of this film is also available.

The Science Directorate (1999), a 6-minute promotional video about pure science research that's done at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This program was produced by NASA while I was there as part of the Summer Faculty program in May/June 1999.
