Catalog of Supported Work

DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME
Supported Elle Mills' newest film, Don't Forget About Me, starring Bradley Steven Perry.

BLUEPRINT TO FLIGHT
Xyla Foxlin was awarded the Sloan Science Prize in Documentary which provides $100,000 to support the development and production of nonfiction work that showcases subjects in science and technology.
This video is episode 1 in an ongoing series that documents the construction of a Pietenpol Air Camper, a wood and fabric homebuilt airplane design from 1929.
HOWTOWN
Supported 8 episodes of Howtown in partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, including the live premiere and presentation of “The Truth About Hot Ones Sauces” at IMI Fest 2024 with special guest Bobby Duke.
Hosted by Adam Cole and Joss Fong, How Town is a YouTube channel about where facts come from with each episode tackling a “how do they know that” question.
