The Ornament of the World
Producer
Filmed in Cordoba, Granada, Seville, and Toledo, this documentary retraces the 800-year period in medieval Spain when Muslims, Christians, and Jews forged a common cultural identity that frequently transcended their religious differences, revealing what made this rare and fruitful collaboration possible, and what ultimately tore it apart.

En defensa de la comida
Producer
Apostar por la comida sana puede tener muchos beneficios y, la opción más saludable, pueden ser las dietas derivadas de nuestros antepasados, basadas en plantas. La dieta que la mayoría seguimos hoy en día es la 'dieta occidental', con mucha carne, harina blanca, aceites vegetales y azúcar; y muy poca fruta, verduras y granos integrales. Es barata, práctica y, en su mayoría, ha sido procesada para tener muy buen sabor potenciando el contenido en sal, azúcar y grasa. Nuestro consumo de azúcar actual es un mil por ciento superior al de hace 200 años. La tasa de obesidad infantil en los Estados Unidos se ha duplicado en 25 años. Cada vez hay más casos de diabetes tipo 2 en jóvenes. El azúcar está presente ahora en alimentos que nunca antes se habían endulzado, desde el pan hasta el ketchup y condimentos de toda clase.

Capturing Grace
Executive Producer
It seems like two disparate realms. One occupied by some of the most acclaimed dancers in the world, people who move for a living. The other occupied by people who often struggle to move, people who have Parkinson's disease. This is the story of what happens when those worlds intersect. We followed individuals with Parkinson's as they prepared to stage a first ever dance performance, under the tutelage of two long time dancers at the Mark Morris Dance Group. It's a story about determination, adversity, contending with doubt, the transformative power of art and the strength of the human spirit. This is the story of a remarkable community of dancers who have come together to rediscover the meaning of grace.

Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet
Director
Tells the story of the seventh century prophet who changed world history in 23 years, and continues to shapes the lives of more than 1.2 billion people. The film takes viewers not only to ancient Middle Eastern sites where Muhammad's story unfolds, but into the homes, mosques and workplaces of some of America's estimated seven million Muslim to discover the many ways in which they follow Muhammad's example.
