From Castle to Castle: Ireland
in 2003 armed with a very inexpensive DV camcorder, no lights, no mics, and no crew I traveled to Ireland to explore the country. The expedition was a huge success – 93 castles, 1,800 miles, and 120 rolls of film in 14 days – however the video footage remained on the shelf and unedited – until recently! Now it has been unearthed and edited and I am releasing the trip as a series of webisodes on YouTube and DailyMotion.

Of Castles and Crepes: A Documentary of French History and Culture
Filmed in the summer of 2009 (and currently in Post-Production), Of Castles and Crepes documents an expedition to 20+ castles around France (with other cultural places added as needed). The castles were chosen from those visited on previous expeditions and selected based on their geographical, historical, and cultural significance with the goal of giving the viewers the widest possible vision of France. The film is part history, part travelogue, and part cultural expose in order to entice the viewers to learn more and to visit France for themselves. The film will be in English, however some interviews will be in French with English subtitles. The final film will be screened locally, produced and distributed on DVD, and made available for viewing online.
I would gratefully like to thank the Maison Française de Cleveland Fund for their generosity in support of the film.
