received a Creative Capital Grant in Film/Video for the production of "The Illinois Parables" (in progress), 16mm, 40 - 60 minutes.

What, if anything, can belief teach us about nationhood? This experimental documentary combines a series of regional narratives questioning the role doubt and mysticism play in social ideology. Mythic histories of violence, atomic breakthrough, pre-teen telekinesis, failed utopias and vigilante justice comprise a suite of Midwestern parables.
