Works
- Third World California depicts the subhuman conditions experienced by undocumented immigrants living in "Duroville", a settlement largely composed of decrepit trailer homes and lacking basic infrastructure. Its location within the Torres-Martinez Indian Reservation in California's Colorado Desert exempts it from many federal and state laws, which allows some Torres-Martinez tribe members to profiteer from the situation of the undocumented workers, and to disregard environmental and safety regulations in force elsewhere. The film debuted in the 22nd Chicago Latino Film Festival in 2006.
- The Music Tree features the plight of the brazilwood, the species of tree that gave Brazil its name, and whose unique deep red wood is used in the manufacture of bows for fine violins and similar instruments. Its current endangered status represents a serious threat to classical music worldwide, as there is no other material that can be used to make bows of comparable quality.
- A film recounting the extreme danger free-diving Brazilian lobster fishermen expose themselves to on a daily basis.
- A rockumentary about Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura (in production)

Even where horrible green parrots call and swing.
My works are all stamped down into the sultry mud.”
