"The Release" - Reel (Documentary/Motivational)

Inspired by the famous quote by Neil Armstrong when he set foot on the moon for the first time, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

"One Small Step" - Reel (Adventure)

"Prairie Chase" is a short tribute to the most classic of American film genres (and my dad's favorite), the western. The free-spirited adventure typical of this genre idealized the concept of the American west for modern audiences and helped define American culture in the 20th century. 

Here, "Prairie Chase" is a reflection of that spirit - in that it almost doesn't matter who chases who, it's the chase itself that is the adventure.

"Prairie Chase" - Reel (Western/Adventure)

American society is sharply divided, and we've too easily lost sight of the larger ideals that bind us together. We've forgotten just how much we have in common, the values and ideals we all share and hold dear. 

This piece, "as ONE", includes pivotal quotes from speeches from various points from America's history, from both hard times and prosperous times, and that can provide a kind of roadmap for us to come together again, stronger than before. "We rise, or fall, as one."
