The Murder of Hi Good is a true-crime revisionist western set in Northern California, 1870. It details the eventual murder of California’s most notorious Indian hunter; Hiram Good. Most historians believe that his indentured servant “Indian Ned” killed him, a native boy whom he’d raised as a son. It’s suspected that Ned was influenced by the nearby Mill Creek Indians or “diggers”, who were struggling to eke out an existence on their ancestral lands.

"The Wash is a portrait of the river wash that runs behind the older part of Newhall, California, where Lee and I used to live. We shot the wash on Super8 film and then finished it on video. It is a collaboration between us, describing the ways the wash is used, and the people who use it, ourselves included. It charts the way this land has changed since they began developing Newhall and the surrounding community of Valencia for housing, a development that is expected to bring over 250,000 more people into the area by the year 2015."

THE BEE HIVE (2000) is a Super 8mm (sound) haiku-film about the discovery of nature. Made as an experimental scholastic film to better convey the aesthetics and wonderment of nature that the institutional science films of the filmmaker's childhood utterly failed to communicate.

Set in an abandoned exurb in Iceland, the film is a semi-fictional portrait of local teenager "Gunnar" who is obsessed with serial killers. As the filmmakers follow him around the derelict modernist dwellings a narrative emerges of Iceland's financial crisis as well as its precarious future. Collage elements are implemented in order to heighten the overall feeling of post-modernist dread and latent absurdism.
