Adventure is For Everyone
A Beyond Boundaries Documentary 

"Join us as we dive into the world of outdoor adventure and learn more about our participant's abilities and disabilities."  This 45-minute documentary follows three individuals with different disabilities, showing how they have overcome their disabilities to enjoy adventure and the outside world.  As Michael's mom said, Michael “has to try to fit into our world which is very different from his world."  This documentary does an excellent job showing just how hard Michael works to fit into our world and we could not be more proud of him.  Michael appears at minutes 13:00-29:00. 

Beyond Boundaries is a non-profit based in Richmond, Virginia specializing in guiding participants in with disabilities, veterans, at risk youth and recovery programs on outdoor adventures.

Michael's Christmas Claymation Film
An Original Film by Michael

Here is a Christmas Claymation film I created in 2015.  I made these clay figures, the backdrops, write the script and directed this original film all  on my own.  Back in the 1970s through 2012, Christmas stop-motion was not made out of clay.  I made the first Christmas stop-motion out of clay!  Someday, I would like to submit my film to Aardman Animations (my favorite Claymation company)!
