- What is Critical Mass?
This is a simple introduction to the often controversial monthly cycling phenomenon known as Critical Mass. At the October 2007 ride in Durham, NC, I asked as many folks as I could the same question: what is Critical Mass? I think the diversity of their voices reflects the non-hierarchical sense of ownership that Critical Mass has come to stand for — it’s different every time, because it is just an expression of those who show up.

- Kannapolis
Together these two 21-minute films contrast life in the black and white communities of Kannapolis, NC in the 1940s. Using footage shot by H. Lee Waters in 1941, I edited the reels to compose these two videos for the National Humanities Center. Digital versions of the original 16mm footage were made available by the Duke University Archives.

- Days of Infamy, John Hope Franklin
Days of Infamy is a four-minute audio slideshow combining historic photography from the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the U.S. involvement in World War II with still photography from the evening of April 7th, 2005. On that evening, John Hope Franklin read selected passages from his memoir, Mirror to America, at the National Humanities Center. I recorded the reading and mixed edited audio with the still images to create this slideshow.
