The Russian Winter
Feature Documentary
Brooklyn-born John Forté was a Grammy-nominated musician in The Fugees at 21 and a federal prison inmate at 26. When his prison sentence was remarkably commuted in 2008, Forté was given a second chance to share his talents with the world. Chronicling his concert tour across Russia, this inspirational documentary takes us on Forté’s personal journey—one that’s as much about having his voice heard as having his music heard.
The Russian Winter premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2012 and has screened at Moscow International Film Festival, IDFA and Gothenburg International Film Festival.
Produced by LeCastle and released domestically through Film Buff.

Wolf Tracking
We spent a week in northern Wisconsin learning how to track wolves. Traditionally used for hunting, today the modern science of animal tracking is widely practiced in the fields of wildlife biology, conservation and wildlife management.
The wolf population in Wisconsin has grown exponentially. In 2012, the federal government removed the Grey Wolf from their endangered species list opening the door for the state to legalize wolf hunting.
