 | RuffDox films are the result of a fledgling documentary film student's efforts to learn something about life, art, media, and social change. Well, the latter point is a bit of a stretch... but the vision is somehow bringing something of the psycho-social work of process oriented psychology, worldwork, and deep democracy across through documentary. It's a stretch but I'm learning and love doing it. Current project is a short film on facilitation and the transformation of extreme violence into a creative process. Loving the people, travels, and filming involved. Details to follow... Click cover art to play |
