In 2002 he formed a company, 3 Wolves Production, and co-produced the film Find Me Guilty[1][2] which was directed by Sidney Lumet and was released in 2006. In 2005 he produced, in association with the American Film Institute's directing workshop for women, and wrote A through M a dramatic short film inspired by the aftermath of 9/11.
