BETWEEN SOUND AND SILENCE

Experience the Op-Doc at The New York Times

This summer I worked with director Irene Taylor Brodsky on The New York Times Op-Doc, Between Sound and Silence, exploring the impact of technology on the deaf experience through the eyes of young deaf adults. Irene has a unique perspective on sensory augmentation, being the mother and daughter of deaf people who each wear cochlear implants. The Op-Doc was born out of a longer film Vermilion Films produced earlier this year, The Listening Project.

EXPLORING QUEBEC CITY

Check out the article on National Geographic Adventure

As part of a collaboration between National Geographic Adventure and Destination Canada, Andy Maser and I were sent on assignment to Quebec City for an urban adventure in the summer of 2017. This city was a blast for a long summer weekend – the food, culture, and natural environment just outside the city is lively, exotic and yet accessible for any traveler, no matter your speed. I co-directed and shot this project with Andy. Our editor was Chris Cresci.
