Video by Steev Hise

a wide-ranging look at the wide range of work i've done, including behind and in front of the camera, as well as postproduction.

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. I have the skills to shoot, write, direct, and edit. (last update: May 2011)

View my demo reels. (2009)

The main project I'm working on at the moment is a pilot for a TV/web series called Truth On The Line, which is in the late stages of post-production.

I recently (late 2009) finished updating "Wild Versus Wall", a film about the border wall I first completed in 2008, working with the Sierra Club.

Also recently, a film I shot and co-produced about War Tax Resistance was finished and is being distributed by the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee. It's called "Death and Taxes." Early in 2009 I produced a series of video news segments about changes in the borderlands, funded in part by a grant from the Institute for Justice and Journalism.

In 2006 I completed 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.
