Filmmaker, Author, & Champion of Lost Causes. I just wrapped a documentary about the threat to democracy and wrote a book about espionage and the Kennedy assassination. Other than that I am a lot of fun :) Love sunflowers and skywatching.
According to the Washington Post many areas of #Pennsylvania are now getting heavier rains due to climate change.

Taylor Swift just purchased all her old music! Wow!!!

Geez, since it's so topical, check out my exhaustive book on the JFK assassination- and it's an entirely new take! Paperback was just released last month!

Good morning BlueSky! This is a vintage pic of Broadway legend Marian Seldes, a phenomenal actress that I had the honor of directing in my movie HOME (also starring Marcia Gay Harden). Marian was a dream to work with and I learned so much from her about how to exhibit grace under pressure!

Any beekeepers out there? We used this 50° day to give our hives some pollen patties to tide them through the winter.

As of today, my book A WOMAN I KNOW is available in paperback at all the usual book buying spots! Yay!!!

Who are you rooting for? Taylor Swift's previous favorite football team or her current favorite football team?

"Genocide Donald" gets almost no Google hits, while we know how many we get with "Genocide Joe". Can we change that soon please? How is it Trump has escaped scrutiny when he is now outright positioning the U.S. to lead an ethnic cleanse as official policy?

Editing is an interesting process. You think your story is about one thing and then you see you captured something else. We started filming in '20, wrapped in '24, and during that time we completely documented, inadvertently, the rise of Josh Shapiro from obscurity to a meteoric national figure.

I love Lancaster County.

Thank you for your service to our country VP Kamala Harris. It was an honor to cover your campaign for Tipping Point Pa.

Gotta start 2025 out right! #LancasterCounty

Favorite thing in 2024 • My decision to have this old barn moved from a distressed location to closer to my house. #AmishBarnraising #LancasterPa

The state of our broken system writ large on our documentary film caps.

Been doing a lot hiking and not a lot of posting lately. Happy holidays from the Susquehanna River hills!

Winter starts on December 1. (Change my mind!)

You know you were out on the campaign trail too long when your iPhone sorts Kamala Harris into your friends and family bin!
Also- shout out to @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social who also made my phone's cut!

Studying Trump rally speeches for my documentary TIPPING POINT PA and I have news for you - He was doing the "weave" back in 2020 too! (Practice makes perfect?!?!?)

Some may be surprised with my lifetime of indie cred, that I list The Wizard of Oz as my #1 film of all time. There are many reasons for my choice, all of which made loving Wicked, or any film based off of it, a heavy lift. 🧵

I am an outdoorsy filmmaker who enjoys hiking, gardening, Cold War history and Lancaster County, Pa., my hometown. Lot of other interests too, hoping to connect here on Blue Sky! Currently editing my doc on how Pa politics is influencing national and world events. All politics is local, after all!

Good morning Blue Sky! Here is a pic from a lifetime ago (aka 4 weeks) when I was setting up on press platforms to film the presidential candidates in Pa.

Super helpful info should you find yourself looking at an Aurora!
