GUY WONDER: STORIES & ARTWORK is my first documentary, which is now out on DVD. A third-generation deaf man (yes, that's him on the left) shares with us stories--some funny, some touching, and all unforgettable--from his rich and varied life as an artist always seeking to create. (This clip is 3:14 minutes long, so your antiquated phone line may choke on its 5.2 MB download. Better yet, hop over to here and order the DVD for the ultimate viewing of an extraordinary life! By the way, if you do require a text translation of Guy's story, please click here to a fuller appreciation. The DVD is subtitled for the signing-impaired. |

HIPPOS & GIRAFFES was a completely unexpected--but happy--accident. It was Monique Holt's idea that we preserve her performance of my monologue which she did the previous weekend. Tim Chamberlain directed; he and I are currently co-editing the 28-minute film together. | |
| When I first began making movies, I wrote a short script specifically for Monique Holt, one of the very best actresses around. In SOME WOMEN, she plays six very different women at various stages of their lives. Here, she plays a young and naive Tina. (Although the 12-and-half-minute subtitled film does have an original score by Shanan Estreicher, this 34-second clip is completely silent to ease the obvious pain of downloading.) |

When the renowned American Sign Language (ASL) storyteller Manny Hernandez asked me to create a DVD of his classic stories, I couldn't resist the opportunity. Here, Manny begins a story about flying a F-14 plane from MANNY ASL: STORIES IN AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE. (This clip is 48 seconds long, so your antiquated phone line may choke on its 3.2 MB download. | |
| Because I was long fascinated with slide shows, I thought it would be fun to ask a friend to take stills of me fingerspelling my name, and then to create a short "educational" film out of it. You won't see me SAYING MY NAME anywhere else. (Thanks again, Phillip!) |

In December 2002 one of my favorite photographers, Phillip Ward, took a wad of pictures for my author photograph for my book SNOOTY. I didn't know what else to do with them except to try something different with them. THE FIRST 25 YEARS is 3.9 MB in size, a possible concern for those who are still using dial-up for Internet access. | |

In the summer of 2006, I finally created a bunch of DVDs containing the home movies that my father shot of us growing up. Here are some choice excerpts of moi in all his glory! This 2:35 silent short is 6.5 MB in size so your cranky phone line may give up on you in exasperation. Just warnin' ya. | |
