A black comedy set in decaying rural England, a collision between old and new.

It follows estranged brothers Marcus and Danny Drummond as they find themselves on a surprisingly dangerous undertaking to unravel the mystery surrounding their fathers very unlikely wealth.

A deeply affectionate modern retelling of the classic comedies and murder mysteries from the Ealing era of British cinema, The Drummond Will imagines what it would be like to be stuck in a world where the strange rules of Ealing cinema apply. A world where life continues quite as normal in the face of escalating body counts, where sleepy English villages invariably harbour any number of dark secrets, and where you only really know who the murderer is when everybody else has been killed. The thoroughly modern Danny and Marcus are trapped in just such a world, and are quickly swept out of their depth. As they realise theyll need to rely on each other if they are to survive, and modern ideas like forensics, cell phones and common sense wont help them, it quickly becomes clear that, inevitably, nothing is what it seems.

It is not the longest or largest U.S. river, but it is one of the most loved and litigated in the world.

Today, this resource is depleted and stressed. Follow its path with an artistic, aerial view on a personal journey to understand this national treasure. McBride teamed up with his bush-pilot father to capture unique footage and also shadowed the adventure of Jon Waterman who became the first to paddle the entire length of the river.

'North South' is a travel log of a two-month cross-country trip I took in the summer of 2009. The progression of the imagery reflects the subtle changes in my relationship with the unfamiliar landscape: at first overwhelmed by the magnitude of the space, I begin to feel a connection to the land, which results in a more personal lensing. All the footage was shot during the trip, on a bolex using 16mm reversal film. The footage was edited in 2011.

Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, by director Peter Joseph, is a feature length documentary work which presents a case for a needed transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society. This subject matter works to transcend the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology and move to relate the core, empirical 'life ground' attributes of human and social survival, extrapolating those immutable natural laws into a new sustainable social paradigm called a 'Resource-Based Economy'.
