As indicated in my bio, I love to travel internationally. In the past decade, my focus for international travel has turned from pleasure- or education-focused to almost requiring that I find work to do while abroad. Sometimes this simply means short videos about particular places, but mostly I look for the stories present in the people of those places.
What began as the brainchild of Ingrid Daubechies, a renowned mathematician, evolved into a massive project involving more than two dozen artists, scholars, and mathematicians. The physical project is currently being transferred from loan to loan, internationally, and informs audiences of all stripes about the vagaries and delights of mathematics. The whimsical (and serious) project is chronicled in this (relatively short) documentary video.
In 2006, for a project in the MA program in Journalism and Mass Communications at UNC, a group of students and faculty members went to a small island off the coast of Chile to document life on the island. This story is one of those: a story about a man who now coaches soccer because he can no longer play. His story is wrapped into a family which values its own soccer history.
This is one of a series of videos, made over six weeks in Barcelona, about different types of urban gardens. Hort/lab is a project by Cris Reguant which will allow people living in high-rise buildings, who may not have access to a local community garden, or may not be ambulatory enough to get outside to garden, the opportunity to garden on their terrace or roof. Hort/lab is about having fresh vegetables and herbs with immediate access.
