SELECTED FILM PROJECTS

LENOX | 2004

A look at the past and present of one of Buffalo's oldest hotels and the many stories contained within its weathered walls. A journey through a faded 1920s Art Deco interior, versus shabby retro Americana.

"An intriguing well-paced piece confident enough to allow the hotel to speak for itself." – John F King, Aesthetica, Issue 14, p.47 August–October 2006

– Listing IMDb

Commissioned by National Endowment for the Arts, USA and Squeaky Wheel, Buffalo, NY
