Brendan Fay, an Irish immigrant, gay rights activist, and New York luminary, spent years fighting the exclusion of LGBTQ groups from the New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade. After countless protests and arrests, he founded the St. Pat’s For All Parade, a grassroots inclusive celebration in Sunnyside, Queens. In The Other Parade, we use archives to capture the history of the parade’s founding while following Brendan in real-time during the week leading up to the eighth annual parade.

The Other Parade screened at the Frameline Film Festival and was broadcast on RTÉ.

In the summer of 1969, folk musician Pete Seeger built a boat and launched a movement, intersecting environmentalism, civil rights, and anti-war resistance. An intimate portrait of Pete, his spouse Toshi, and the participatory grassroots community they anchored in the Hudson Valley for over forty years, Down by the Riverside portrays how an unconventional campaign to save the polluted Hudson River prompted a green revolution. As the globe confronts a seemingly insurmountable climate crisis, this film is a parable for our time that offers hope for the next generation, revealing the power of imagination to transform the planet.

Down by the Riverside premiered at The Woodstock Film Festival.
