An Empire of Reason (1988)
Docudrama about the debate surrounding New York State's ratification of the United States Constitution. Historical figures wear modern dress and use familiar language to help today's audience understand firsthand the forces that shaped this country two hundred years ago. The argument, characters, passions and debating points are historically accurate, but the language and the medium of the debate is modern in form. Present day newscasters and commentators play themselves, reporting on the events of the 1780s as though they were occurring now.

The Crash of 1929 (1990)

L*I*G*H*T
In its brief fifteen minutes, this illuminating film cleverly presents the history of light, from Genesis to Thomas Edison's invention of the light bulb and the development of machinery for its mass production. Exploring the ways in which sun, light and darkness have been represented in the artifacts and legends of world cultures, as well as tracing the development of artificial illumination, L*I*G*H*T is a tribute to Edison and a celebration of the inventive spirit that characterized the Industrial Revolution.
