    I spearhead a feature film’s complete Blu-ray and DVD presentation, from overall art and editorial direction, through digital master restoration, to final quality control.In addition, I create and curate supplementary material (audio commentaries, critical evaluations, documentaries, interviews, video essays) to enhance the viewer's experience of a movie and bolster consumer value. I focus on quality of content, which is not always equivalent to amount of material. More does not always equal better, and a viewer's time is precious.Whenever possible, I ensure a director's satisfaction with and approval of our release of his film, as with Michael Cimino (HEAVEN'S GATE), Guillermo del Toro (CRONOS and THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE), Jonathan Demme (SOMETHING WILD), Michael Mann (THIEF) and Peter Yates (THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE). I have consistently met delivery schedules, deadlines and budgetary requirements.I have a number of password-protected video supplements online. Please contact me for viewing access.
