My primary work in progress, “First Moon Rising,” is being produced in cooperation with Georgette Star, a Portland-area educator and spiritual counselor who runs a girl’s program called, Maiden Spirit. For more about this film, please visit the project web site: www.FirstMoonRisingFilm.com During my years as corporate video producer I won two national awards and produced a documentary on the nonviolent movement to stop nuclear testing in the Nevada desert. “Peace Test: Nonviolence in Action” had a long-running airing on local public access TV. As part of a volunteer special project in 2001, I also produced an educational video, “Your Voice Matters,” which was widely used by women across Oregon to lobby their state legislature for better funding for women’s safety and health.

In April of this year I finished a celebratory video for the Foundation of Sacred Heart Medical Center that included testimonials from patients honoring select physicians. (Read the letter of recommendation from my primary contact). The final video has not been posted on my business site, as the production was intended for a single-use event only.
In 2007, I completed an educational video for a business my brother (Jim Jordan) created, Health Freedom Seminars. The 2-hour video, “Legal Guidelines for Natural Health Care Providers,” is now available for sale at his website and includes a detailed legal manual.
My writing experience includes: several articles for the last 2 issues of my current employer’s newsletters, a recently completed feature screenplay (Sweet Life); a two-act play; a variety of educational video scripts and a great many essays and opinion pieces (some published).
I was born with a natural inclination towards empathy, creativity and an appreciation for fine details and raised by parents who had ideas a smidgen out of the mainstream. (This has helped me think “out of the box.”) As well, I have developed an appreciation for many perspectives and honed the skill of diplomacy out of a deep fascination with people. Over many years of involvement with a wide variety of projects, I have become adept at many things technical: photography, video production, graphics and web design. Taken together, these characteristics lend themselves perfectly to the business of creative design and filmmaking.
