I also had the pleasure of being Associate Producer on Medicine Man and The Camera's Eye. I'm discovering that producing is an extremely creative and gratifying art and we plan on working on more projects in that capacity. We have 3 feature films in development which look like they will be made within the next year. I'll be sure to give an update as these projects evolve.
