I've been writing and directing documentaries and dramas for 20 years now; many centering on women's lives. My life's goal is to create complex, realistic portraits that challenge mainstream stereotypes and work to improve lives.



I started my career at WNYC-TV where I produced a half-hour program on women community organizers working to save the South Bronx. I then went on to write and direct SEPARATE SKIN, an award-winning drama that was distributed by Women Make Movies and a full-length documentary about working mothers, THE BEST OF BOTH. My dramatic feature film, RISK, premiered in competition at the Sundance and had a theatrical, as well as a wide video and international release.
 I went on to direct the documentary STILL DOING IT:The Intimate Lives of Women Over 65 (2004) which premiered at SXSW and has been broadcast in fifteen countries worldwide.

In 1995, I started Mind's Eye Productions dedicated to producing cutting edge educational films. DEALING WITH TEEN DATING ABUSE: Matters Of Choice received a CINE Golden Eagle. Last year Mind's Eye produced an on-line video exploring campus suicide for the New York Times Magazine.
