aerodrome
Set in upstate New York's Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, this award-winning documentary paints an intimate portrait of a group of pilots who not only transcend the sterile tech-driven world of modern aviation but stay true to the spirit of what pioneers held close to their hearts over 100 years ago. With the oldest flying airplane in North America and one of the most impressive collections of functional antique aircraft in the world, the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome is truly a place where history comes to life.

dear president obama
feature documentary
The film takes a cross-country look at drilling, highlighting its variety of contaminations, the stories of its victims, the false promise of an economic boom, with a focus on clean energy solutions that would allow us to proceed towards a future that does not rely on yet another dirty fossil fuel extraction process. Interviews with scientists, economists, health professionals, geologists and whistle-blowers provide the core information we think will convince the current President and those that will follow to join the “anti-drilling” majority growing across the United States and call for fossil fuels to be left where they belong, in the ground.
