Alternative Facts: The Lies of Executive Order 9066 is a feature-length documentary that examines the false information and political influences that led to the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, while also drawing parallels with the current climate of fear, targeting of immigrant and religious communities, and similar attempts to abuse the powers of the government. 5 Blocks is a short film about a San Francisco neighborhood undergoing its most dramatic change in 50 years.

San Francisco's Market Street was once the grandest boulevard in America. Although located just minutes from City Hall, the area fell into decline and became home to some of the city's most marginalized populations. Today tech companies and all those they employ confront the realities of existing in one of the city's poorest neighborhoods. 5 Blocks explores income disparity, changing demographics, and the nature of place.
