Hawaii is ground zero in the global struggle to save marine wildlife. The Dark Hobby is an expose on Native Hawaiian Elders, conservationists and scientists who struggle to ensure the survival of these stunning tiny creatures that are targets of a trade worth billions. Some species have been driven to extinction, and others are severely diminished. These fish eat the algae growing on the coral. When they’re removed from the reef, the coral, which produces 50% of earth's oxygen, dies. Collectors use cyanide, dynamite, cut their fins, pierce their swim bladders with needles, and seal them in bags. Yet scientific research reveals fish have feelings, feel pain, recognize human faces, and sing!

The Swamp tells the dramatic story of humanity's attempts to conquer the Florida Everglades, one of nature's most mysterious and unique ecosystems. Home to a profusion of plants and animals found nowhere else on the continent, the Everglades was an immense watershed covering the southern half of the Florida peninsula. In the 19th century, however, most Americans believed swamps were filled with diseases and noxious reptiles and saw them as obstacles to the nation's progress. The idea of draining the Everglades became the goal of many entrepreneurs, politicians and salesmen who saw great potential in turning the massive wetland into a profitable enterprise. Altering the landscape of the Everglades unleashed a torrent of unintended consequences, from catastrophic floods to brutal droughts. Told through the lives of a handful of colorful and resolute characters, from hucksters to politicians to unlikely activists, The Swamp explores the repeated efforts to transform what was seen as a vast and useless wasteland into an agricultural and urban paradise, ultimately leading to a passionate campaign to preserve America's greatest wetland.

The “Finite Water” documentary discusses global water concerns as seen through the eyes of an average person. After attending the Global Water Summit in Paris as an academic participant, it inspired me to make a documentary without having any experience in filmmaking. The film opens the discussion about water conservation, harvesting methods and adaptation to a new reality, where one could comprehend and develop awareness about global water concerns. Several interviews and discussions are conducted concerning water management and our future’s outlook. Our goal is to instill the idea that adaptation will take place in many places and developing new methods begins with observing what is happening around us. It all begins with one’s own thought process, fresh thinking and exponential changes. We hope to draw attention to how water concerns will affect us and open the discussion about future adaptation to such a significant change.
The effects of water shortages are being seen all over the world in our lifetime. Adapting to a changed reality takes precedent in a world of over 7 billion people. Hear what others have to say about water conservation, technological trends and sharing ideas with the next generation. Is it possible to ensure a future with clean water for everyone?
