Company Line
(2009) is a film about one of the first predominately Black neighborhoods in Mansfield Ohio. The title, Company Line, refers to the name historically used by residents to describe their neighborhood, located on the north side of town close to the old steel mill. The Company Line began during the post-war migration of Blacks from the south to the north in the late forties.  The neighborhood was purchased in the early seventies and its residents were scattered throughout Mansfield.  City employees and former residents of the Company Line narrate the film.  (30:00, black and white, color)

The Golden Age of Fish (2008) is an experimental feature film that interweaves various fragmentary narratives concerning Cleveland, Ohio's landscape from its prehistoric past to late twentieth century visual representation. Though a series of motif, an African American woman geologist is the catalyst that narrates Cleveland's past. The collage of scripted scenes, shot in a variety of formats, and old news 16mm film footage create traces of a narrative structure. The title, The Golden Age of Fish, references the geologist's specimens, Devonian age Cleveland Shale. The Devonian period (417 to 354 million years ago) is when many new kinds of fish appeared. (70 minutes, color and black/white)
