This is an invitation for you the viewer to begin a cinematic journey with me. We will explore the films I have directed and co-directed. We will consider how films are made, what lessons I have learned, and what tips I can offer. We will visit the work of other filmmakers and artists—and we will discuss the very nature of filmmaking itself.

Along the way I will share an occasional personal story, among them my twenty years living on a boat in Sausalito, California.

With good fortune, these words and pictures will provide a pathway to future films that I hope to make, and films that you the visitor will make and you as a viewer will watch with a careful and clear-eyed appreciation.

You are invited to participate, to send comments and offer suggestions about topics to cover and subjects dear to your hearts. All are welcome. No one is excluded.

And now the journey begins!
