The University of Houston Clear Lake has a long-standing presence in a South Texas Prison, the Ramsey Unit. Inmates at this unit are able to finish both BA and MA degrees, granted by UHCL. In 2015 and 2016 I was able to follow one of the instructors, Shrerekha Subramanian, to the unit to film their semester final exams. At the time, the resulting videos were presented at a conference at the university and in May 2018, I turned them into a short-form documentary and a promotional video for the school. I am the director, cameraman and editor on both films. This film is unique in its subject matter. I do not know of any other short documentary film about university-level teaching in the U.S. prison system. Through a rare opportunity of access with a camera to a prison unit, this is not only a film “about” the subject at hand, it also gives the inmates a rare opportunity to make their voices heard.

Violent news stories of shooting victims and grieving families can be seen every day, but the private stories of the families' recoveries are rarely made known. When the Shooting Stops examines the lives of four families after gun violence and how they respond to their losses. An armed robbery resulting in the killing of filmmaker Lisa Davis Larry's grandfather, Charles Caplin, an Indiana businessman, motivated Lisa to explore the effects of gun violence on her family and three other American families.
The three other families include: Colonel (Ret.) and Mrs. Wilbert Bryant, the parents of Lisa Bryant, a cum laude Princeton University graduate and Army officer, who was shot and killed by an Army sergeant at Fort Bragg, North Carolina; the Hawkins family who lost two young adult sons in separate shootings: Joe Hawkins, a car mechanic, to a mistaken identity drive-by shooting and Gerald Roberts, a college student studying to be a probation officer, to a car jacking; and the family of Gilbert Salinas, a survivor of an accidental shooting at a party, and his wife, Cindy who is herself a survivor of a drive-by shooting that happened at age 12 as she retrieved her mail.
When the Shooting Stops uncovers life after gun violence. It illustrates the strength each victim and survivor develops to process the pain and to give meaning to their catastrophic losses while becoming advocates for social change.
