Additional Editor, On-Line Editor

MAKING SENSE OF PLACE is a feature documentary film produced for American Public Television by Northern Light Productions and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. It examines explosive, dispersed growth in the booming Southwest metropolis and the practical and environmental issues that have accompanied.

PHOENIX: THE URBAN DESERT is the first of three full length films in the MAKING SENSE OF PLACE series that focuses on growth and change in large metropolitan areas, through the eyes and voices of residents. The films reflect not just an in-depth portrayal of specific cities, but much larger issues about how we live and how we grow, that have been largely missing in the national conversation: metropolitan growth in the context of environmental concerns, population and demographic trends, equity and race.

Funded by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy .
