Of Wind and Waves: The Life of Woody Brown, is an hour-long documentary profiling a remarkable 95-year-old legend in the worlds of surfing, sailing and soaring. Maui resident Woody Brown has not only lived a life full of extraordinary adventure and accomplishment, including inventing the modern catamaran, setting world gliding records and surfing Hawaii's 25-foot surf in the early 1940s, he has done so with a kind of selflessness and generosity that have made him an inspiring role model for four generations of Hawaiians.

Other Nature is a historical documentary focusing on the social and political factors that contributed to the 2007 Supreme Court ruling that protects the rights of sexual minorities and the 2008 passing of gay marriage in Nepal. At the heart of this human rights survey is a thought-provoking cinematic journey merging the political with the personal, grassroots activities with individual self-determination, and traditional social structures with humanism.

Capturing the remarkable chain of events that unfolded after the publication of a gay marriage announcement in a small town newspaper, this film offers a glimmer of hope to those wondering if they will ever be liberated from the darkness of antigay bigotry and shows that it is in the hearts and minds of small town America that this battle will someday be won.
