|
| A year ago, The Smithsonian Institution commissioned me to make a short video for exhibit at the National Zoo in DC. The topic; a kids video on amphibian declines and environmental contaminants. Whew! Heavy Duty.
Somehow my fabulous crew and I turned what could be a very depressing topic into a fun and informative movie.
I've entered it in some really big festivals including AFI, SXSW, Aspen Shortsfest, Silverdocs, Telluride Mountain film and others. Lets hope for the best!
