Public Defender is making its debut tomorrow night at the MountainFilm Festival in Telluride, CO at 5:30 MT.

We had such a good time collaborating with Andrea Kalin of Spark Media on this film. Public Defender is centered around Heather Shaner, a public defense attorney who has spent over 40 years representing people who can’t afford a lawyer. She is faced with a personal ethical dillema, when she is called upon to defend Jack Griffith and Annie Howell, two of the January 6th insurrectionests. The film follows them through their path of navigating the justice system, and the journey of finding humanity amongst the current political divide.

Very excited that Public Defender is screening at DC/Dox in June.

We can’t wait for you all to see it!

When our pals at Day's Edge Productions & come calling, we know it’s going to be an amazing project, and that was certainly the case for their new PBS series Human Footprint.

In this fast-paced, engaging & thought-provoking six-part series, join biologist and host Shane Campbell-Staton and explore the global impact of Earth’s most ingenious, destructive, and adaptable species. Earth has never experienced anything like us: a single species dominating and transforming the planet. Shane travels the globe to explore our Human Footprint and to discover how the things we do reveal who we truly are.

The first episode Strangers In Paradise takes a look at how invasive species are reshaping the world’s ecosystems, but who’s really to blame? In this episode, Shane wrestles a python, hunts Hawaiian pigs, and gets sucker-punched by a carp to answer the question: in the Age of Humans, how does our species decide what belongs?

Ep 1 Strangers in Paradise drops TONIGHT @9/8C, with new episodes every Wednesday or check it out on the PBS app. We’re really proud of the show and it was such a pleasure to collaborate with such an all-star team! Robbie Carman DC Color Joey D'anna, and lead mixer Rick Rush

The International African American Museum opened its doors for the first time of many yesterday! OHA was able to work in Charleston, SC on two permanent exhibits for this incredible museum. Cheryl took the mixing lead on the “Atlantic Worlds” exhibit, which includes a 30-foot video screen featuring a short film that explores the historical connections between the Black Atlantic World, Africa, the Americas, and Europe. Jeremy Guyre was the lead mixer for the “TransAtlantic” exhibit, which involves a walkthrough composed of eight large video screens to take visitors on an immersive journey through hundreds of years of history, from African roots through international diaspora scenes and traditions. We had an awesome time collaborating with Cortina Productions, Inc. on this project, and are so happy to have been able to contribute to a project that tells such important and necessary stories of history.
