We have filmed spirit possession ceremonies in the Tambor de Mina communities in Northern Brazil. This footage is archived at the Smithsonian Institute.

We produced, shot (a three-camera shoot), and edited a performance video of Los Munequitos de Matanzas, the premiere Afro-Cuban music and dance troupe, at UC Berkeley. They had never before allowed themselves to be filmed in the United States.

Maura used to work for filmmaker Les Blank. When we produced a two-camera shoot of Varttina, renowned Finnish folk-rock group, at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, it was in collaboration with Chris Simon (then of Flower Films) and with Les Blank on one of the cameras.

Creve Coeur, our collaboration with poet Richard Hood, was selected as part of the "New American Maker" series at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco.

To make Basic Histology, an educational film for the Peralta Jr. College System, we borrowed microscopic lenses from the Biology department and got down to the cellular level.

To make a sales video for Pneumapress, who sell filtration systems to large corporations and governments worldwide, we shot from a crane to get the warehouse-sized "product" in the shot.

For 18 months in 1996-7 we edited India Waves, a weekly, hour-long television program showcasing the latest cinema from Bombay. It was a pleasure to work on a community-oriented program, and to come up with Bombay-style graphics and special effects.

(Before the Kingston Street era, Maura and Soula produced, directed and edited Action, a weekly television show on visual and performing arts in the San Francisco Bay Area. The show ran for eight years and featured such artists as filmmaker Marlon Riggs, Cuban son performer Bobi Cespedes, and the rock group Psychotic Pineapple.)
