How do families change as death approaches? Hodge Arts recently developed a preliminary pilot for a dramatic series entitled “Dead End.” Our purpose is to peel away the veneer of a family as they attempt to cope with the impending loss of a parent. While each character has a private agenda, they struggle with conflicting emotions around trust, personal beliefs, duty, righteousness and all the complexities that the dying leave in their wake.

This film is about love, the failure of the American dream, and the magnetic power of untamed nature. Juxtaposed against the beauty and force that is Niagara Falls, this vulnerable portrait of people in a city on the edge reminds us that against all odds, love never dies.

Niagara Falling
Short film
Documentary in progress
To stand at the very edge of Niagara Falls is to feel the water’s primal pull. There, where the roaring river drops away at your feet, you can partake in an ageless miracle. Yet the nearby city of Niagara Falls has seen one of the most remarkable declines of any urban center. Where some see total collapse in less than a lifetime, others see a hometown with strong roots and culture. Still others see a landscape worshiped for its divinity over several millennia.

We created a short film that give voice to the concerns of the local residents of the Half Moon Bay area about the "Broken" Hernandez Bridge. We'd like our representatives to move quickly to repair this and to do what is necessary to maintain other bridges on the coastal trail that either need to be repaired or replaced.
