For 13-year old Mica, baseball is more than his sport-it's his path to tikkun olam, repairing the world. Got Balz? follows this intrepid teenager as he prepares for his bar mitzvah, collects baseball gear for Cuban kids, and gives thanks to the island that sheltered his grandfather during WWII. There's just one curve ball: the US embargo of Cuba. In this charming coming of age story, Mica's effort to complete the cycle of compassion that brought his grandfather to safety reveals just how big and messy the adult world can be.

Grasping at Aspiration Part I Warrior 3: A Tale of Meager Transcendence
This multimedia comedic “live documentary” tells the story of an artist struggling to reconcile her artistic aspirations, with her work as an Audio Visual Technician. Blending fiction with autobiography, theater with film, my alter-ego “Kara” seeks advice from her Zen Teacher and second-wave, feminist mother, who both have very different responses to her predicament. So, using the tools of her AV trade – laser pointers, projectors, and even medical slides – Kara envisions her own experimental path that connects Zen, AV work, and contemporary feminism, allowing her to glimpse her own version of success.
