Directed by Allie Rood, Prickly Mountain and My Design/Build Life tells the story of the Mad River Valley’s experimental design/build movement, the architects who turned a Vermont hillside into a laboratory for building differently. As director of photography, I shot key interviews, home tours and landscapes, from the original architects in conversation to the houses they built on the hillside.

Winner of the Vermont Public Best Documentary Award at the Made Here Film Festival. The film had its world premiere at the Architecture & Design Film Festival in New York and has screened internationally, including at ADFF Los Angeles, ADFF Toronto at TIFF, VIFF in Vancouver, ADFF Mumbai, Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam, Festival Film a architektura in Prague, Maine International Film Festival and the Green Mountain Film Festival.
