The Edge of the Sea: In the past fifty years, 61-year old fisherman Pauco Font has seen the white sand beaches of his Puerto Rico hometown disappearing due to erosion caused by mega developments. In 2008, Pauco and members of his community began to fight back. Grand Festival Award - Berkeley Film Festival. Wild & Scenic Best Student Award 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkpyRQa2Oa8&feature=player_embedded#
A Year in the Desert: Anza Borrego: Each season in the Anza Borrego desert has its special creatures: tiny hummingbirds, darting lizards, slithering snakes, head-butting bighorns. Their land is seared by ground temperatures of 180 degrees, swept by a flash flood, even blanketed by a snowstorm. Both filmmakers have received numerous regional and national Emmy Awards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UjhxGXxQyU&feature=player_embedded
