DOCUMENTARY WORK

I was editor and co-producer of the documentary film “Sputnik Mania” – Which won the ABC News VideoSource Award (2007) from the International Documentary Association for best use of news footage in a documentary. After winning the audience award in the Seattle Film Festival, the film opened at the IFC in New York City and got good reviews in the New York Times and elsewhere.

A film by John Vincent Barrett - I made this documentary in collaboration with its subject, legendary documentary filmmaker David Hoffman, to document the aftermath of a devastating fire that destroyed his home and life's work. Instead of focusing on the immense loss, Hoffman chose to view the disaster as a catalyst for a new beginning. The film won the Santa Cruz Film Festival Audience Award for Best Locally-Produced Work in 2011.

Edited by John Vincent Barrett -
Butch Mystique is a 2003 short documentary film directed by Debra A. Wilson that explores the lives and experiences of nine African American butch-identified lesbians living in the San Francisco Bay Area. The film won the 2004 Showtime Black Filmmaker Showcase grant.
As the winning short film of the showcase, Wilson received a $30,000 production grant from Showtime to fund her next project. She used the grant to direct her follow-up documentary, Jumpin' the Broom: The New Covenant, also edited by Barrett, which later premiered on the network.
