My Films

When Buffalo Roam

After working with Gary Graver, my film mentor, on 11 low budget indie films, I longed to Direct. So I accepted when Cyde “Looks  For Buffalo” Hand, a Lakota Indigenous leader, called to tell me it was my job to save the last wild herd of Buffalo at Yellowstone.

 

Thus began the wildest learning curve of my life. The result is this 9 minute film, narrated by the voice of Peter Coyote, which won the New York international Film and Video Festival. For the Buffalo!    (9mins)

The Trail of Painted Ponies

Horses have played a major role in my life, so I was immediately draw to the New Mexico decision to pick Starr York’s life size horse sculptor for great NM artists to paint and auction off in order to fund and support NM non profits. Imagine my joy when the plan for this film came together. 

 

The amazing Ali MacGraw offered to narrate, on camera, and this film reflects her beauty and generosity. 

    

              “The fate of our country and the future of our world depends on the vision 

                                            of the artist - and we are all artists!”

 

The Trail of Painted Ponies won Best Documentary film at the White Sands Film Festival, and I won Best Woman Director. (90 min)

We Know Not What We Do

We Know Not What We Do is a love letter to the human race suggesting that we make a moral and spiritual shift in the way we live on this planet and treat each other, if we do not choose to be extinct. It opened the Jakarta Film Festival, won awards in the US, and Accolade Global Fi;ms awarded me a humanitarian award for writing and directing. (55min)
