On "Invisible Hand"
"Invisible Hand" recounts the decline of coal mining in Illinois and 
the toll it has taken on the town of Marissa. Coal mining has been a 
way of life in Marissa for decades and this video documents some of the 
social effects resulting from the collapse of the coal industry while 
investigating the complex environmental, political, legal, and social 
factors involved in coal's decline.

On "Troublesome Creek"
"I was raised on Westerns. Red River, High Noon, Gunsmoke--where the 
bad guys sometimes won but never prevailed. Our film is a Midwestern. 
It's the story of my family's farm in Iowa: From crossing the 
Mississippi by covered wagon in 1867 to driving to Daddy Date Night in 
1967. From my great-grandfather fighting off the Crooked Creek Gang in 
the 1880's to my father fighting off foreclosure in the 1990's."
