WHALEHEAD CLUB: A favorite segment: the story of an art nouveau-styled coastal estate and the tragic couple who created it. The challenge here was to tell a compelling human story while also capturing the zeitgeist of wealthy turn-of-the century America.
|
LIGHTER THAN AIR: An artfully crafted short doc about how Navy blimps helped beat back Nazi U-boats off the Carolina Coast during WWII. The challenge was to show both the immensity of the task and the immensity of the hangars that housed the dirigibles.
|
PLAYING BY HEART: A story of love, family and a passion for song as told by the not-so-famous father of the famous Avett Brothers. The challenge was to tell Jim Avett's story (and the family's story) while using a minimum of Avett Brothers concert footage.

THE CAN JOE MAN: How a retired NC businessman found joy crafting single-string musical instruments from soda cans. Challenge was to transform what could have been a boring feature into a little jewel of a piece. Good writing and thoughtful narration helped it happen!
|
IVEY HAYES PAINTS: Nobody paints like Ivey Hayes, and nobody has a story like his. Creative challenge was to knit an interview with the artist and Fred Story's memorable music together with writing and narration to create what turned out to be a work of television art.
|
A DEFIANT SPIRIT: Tim Ferris leads a life of adventure, from salvage diving on shipwrecks to distilling whisky in his uniquely "defiant" way. The challenge was deciding which of Tim's many lives to include -- with very limited B-roll. The script eventually brought it all together.
