- The world collides in Chungking Mansions (Hong Kong). As perhaps the most diversely populated building on earth it is a paradise of multi-culturalism and low-end globalisation, uniquely belonging to no one and everyone. For years the building has been notorious both as a refuge for petty criminals and illegal immigrants, and for its unsanitary living conditions. Yet it exists as a perfect example of a city as an organic mega-structure, flexible enough to fulfill every need from religion to water supply, while providing an alternative to conventional space, culture and time. What is fascinating here, besides all the shortcomings, is that Chungking somehow succeeds, continuously evolving to accommodate the hopes of those that find themselves drawn there. My film Chungking Dream takes us into the heart of this Pandora's box, isolating characters and scenes from the myriad of options that exist layer on layer in the building, taking us into their most inner spaces and reflecting on a world in which we all have to fight for the space to live out our dreams.

- AMERICA BOXED IN is a documentary film about the "heart of the global economy"-the freight container. This mere metal box transformed the entire world into next-door neighbors and fostered extraordinary economic prosperity. At the same time, it has put a stunning number of unprecedented threats in the global spotlight. It has shifted the flow of power away from nations to forces that respect no borders. In so doing, it has engendered a never seen before struggle for power to every corner of the world. It has highlighted the seismic political divisions demonstrated by the historic Brexit and Trump votes that are now sweeping across the globe. And, it has supercharged China' global influence and helped them redraw the economic and political map of the 21st century. AMERICA BOXED IN is a story that exposes the profound contradictions that lie at the heart of globalization. Today, the container stands between two issues critical to 21st globalization. On the one hand is the issue of open market "freedom." On the other hand, is the issue of the defense of national "security." In between is globalization's "Pandora's Box."

- This was filmed in 1949 when Lowell Thomas and Lowell Thomas Jr. took a journey to Tibet before the Red Chinese had moved in. It shows Tibet as it was then and, for that matter, as it had been for centuries. The most important thing in Tibet was religion, and it shows the people firm in their faith, living a simple life under the absolute power of the Grand Lama. The long and difficult journey to Lhasa was made possible by the authorities who hoped to show the world the simple life in Tibet and to ask for aid against the Communists, who were even then threatening. In Lhasa, the Thomases visited the palace of the High Lama,where a rare-interview was granted. The way back to "civilization" was difficult, especially, since Thomas Sr., was seriously injured in an accident that made him a stretcher case during the return.
