Afro Blue – This film chronicles a year in the life of the critically-acclaimed and award-winning vocal ensemble Afro Blue. From one of the most prestigious Historically Black Universities and Colleges (HBCUs) in America, Howard University, this documentary journeys a year full of auditions, performances and album recordings.

The Woodstock of House – This film details the triumph of disco music, attacked by mainstream America in the 1970s for being too black, too Latin and too gay; and its mutation, development and re-birth as House Music by African American teenagers on the South Side of Chicago in an underground culture of marginalized, largely gay nightclub constituents. This is the untold story of the role of Chicago's Chosen Few DJs in the creation and popularization of this international musical genre and the celebration of the 25th Annual Chosen Few Music Fest where 50,000 people of different races, ages and sexual orientation come together in unity, peace and love in one of the most challenging environments in the country.
