With John P. Vourlis
The House Next Door documents the effects of the foreclosure crisis on Northeast Ohio and the neighborhoods of Slavic Village and East Cleveland – ground zero for this man-made disaster. There were many culpable parties including mortgage brokers, uninformed buyers, unscrupulous sellers who jacked up the price of the property, willfully blind appraisers who went along with inflated home prices, and mortgage bankers out to make mad money, and of course, Wall Street. At best these people simply ignored the warning signs in favor of a quick buck, at worst this was a giant conspiracy of complicity. And even though there were multiple guilty parties nobody ever went to jail except for a few small-time property brokers in places like Cleveland. This film examines: the roots of this crisis; why it impacted Cleveland so badly; what the city had to do to clean up the mess; and most importantly, could this nightmare ever happen again?

With Jason Cohn
Architect Eliot Noyes was one of the leading pioneers of modern design during the mid-century, post-war boom in the United States. Educated by Walter Gropius at Harvard, Noyes did more than anyone to align the Modernist design ethos to the needs of ascendant corporate America. His impact on companies like IBM paved the way for Apple and many of the other design-conscious brands we know today. Modernism, Inc. explores Noyes’ remarkable career. As he did in Eames: The Architect and the Painter, filmmaker Jason Cohn uses the story of a mid-century icon to raise contemporary questions about the role of a designer in today’s world.

The sports documentary The Process traces the journey of young athletes and their families, friends, and associates as they pursue the dream of playing professional basketball. Even though the odds are daunting, the mission of every athlete is to play on the highest level. So many young athletes dream of playing pro sports, but the sometimes-toxic allure of fame and big money can warp an athlete and their family’s judgment. The statistics are daunting. 10 million athletes play basketball every year. Of that 10 million, only 900 thousand will play high school basketball, and of that 900 thousand, only 5 thousand will play college basketball. And of that 5 thousand, only 96 college basketball players will be drafted by NBA teams each year. This journey does not happen overnight. It is a process that takes years of hard work and dedication and quite frankly a whole lot of luck!
