"I am finishing two new feature-length documentaries about dance. The first, 'A Good Man,' chronicles famed choreographer Bill T. Jones over two years as he creates a modern dance work about the legacy of Abraham Lincoln. The film will premiere at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in mid-April and was broadcast on PBS' 'American Masters' program in October.

"The second film, 'The Joffrey Ballet: Mavericks of American Dance,' tells the remarkable story of the groundbreaking ballet company from their founding in 1956 to the present. It is co-produced by director Karold Ramis and is narrated by actor Mandy Patinkin.

"In addition, my production company, Media Process Group, just celebrated our 25th anniversary."
