In 1974, a Mormon missionary finds his world turned upside down when he falls in love with a handsome Italian Communist. With original 8mm film and fierce storytelling, Tom Clark recounts a love story set against the backdrop of coastal Italy wrought with faith, identity, cigarettes, and Thorazine.
SECOND TO NONE is a short branded-content documentary for Dick’s Sporting Goods that was featured on ESPN in 2016. It’s the story of Isabella Isaksen, an Olympic contender in the obscure sport of modern pentathlon, as she competes alongside her top-ranked sister, Margaux, for a chance to compete in the Rio 2016 Olympics.
