Video by Steev Hise
My main activity at this time is doing video work, both artistic and journalistic pieces. I produce my own projects and also do freelance work for hire. On this page you'll find information about and samples of my work. (last update: August 2008)

View my demo reels.

My most ambitious project to date has been On The Edge, a feature-length documentary about the femicide in Ciudad Juarez released in 2006. The film's website is political.detritus.net/juarez. Click here for information about ordering my DVD of short video works, Videographist (an older collection, "4 eye + ear", on videotape, is no longer available, though the DVD contains some of the same pieces.)

Many of my recent (2006-present) short videos have been produced as a part of Pan Left Productions, and are viewable on my page at the Pan Left video blog. You can also view a selection of my work on my You Tube page.
