“A Delicate Balance”
http://www.adelicatebalance.com.au/
I edited a three part documentary feature on the issues of health, animal cruelty, and healing. The producers of this extensive documentary series came to me with over 100 hours of footage. Meeting their needs and budget I formed their material into a creative, moving film that is capable of creating powerful change. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu17lqLjeF8
