Unlocking the Cage
Executive Producer
Renowned filmmakers D A Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus follow determined animal rights activist Steven Wise into the courtroom for an unprecedented battle that seeks to utilize the writ of habeas corpus to expand legal “personhood” to include certain animals. Wise’s unusual plaintiffs—chimpanzees Tommy and Kiko, once famed showbiz stars—are now living in filth, struggling to survive. Wise and his impassioned legal team take us into the field, revealing gripping evidence of such abuse and plunging us into the intricacies of their case as they probe preconceived notions of what it means to be a non-human animal.
Стартап.ком
Producer
О друзьях детства — Калейле Исазе Тузмане и Томе Германе и о создании ими знаменитого сайта GovWorks.com, позволившего рядовым гражданам напрямую общаться с местными властями. Всего за год молодые предприниматели зарабатывают 60 миллионов долларов, нанимают на работу сотню человек и знакомятся с президентом Клинтоном. Однако рынок ценных бумаг испытывает их на прочность: они сталкиваются со все новыми проблемами, решают технические вопросы, бороздят бурные воды венчурного капитала. Тем не менее, это не подготавливает Калейла и Тома к самому главному — их личному конфликту из-за управления сайтом. Этот конфликт ставит под угрозу не только их компанию и работу, но и грозит положить конец их многолетней дружбе.

Jimi Plays Monterey
Executive Producer
It's no exaggeration to say this might be the most intense and groundbreaking 45-minute performance in the history of rock. Jimi Hendrix's debut American set at 1967's Monterey Pop Festival is generally considered one of the most radical and legendary live shows ever. Virtually unknown to American audiences at the time, even though he was already an established entity in the UK, Hendrix and his two-piece Experience explode on stage, ripping through blues classics "Rock Me Baby" and Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor," interpreting and electrifying Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone," debuting songs from his yet-to-be-released first album and closing with the now historic sacrificing/burning of his guitar during an unhinged version of "Wild Thing" that even its writer Chip Taylor would never have imagined. Hendrix uses feedback and distortion to enhance the songs in whisper-to-scream intensity, blazing territory that had not been previously explored with as much soul-frazzled power.
