Join or Die, 2023 — Producer & Director: Join or Die is a film about why you should join a club—and why the fate of America depends on it. Follow the story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of Robert Putnam, whose legendary "Bowling Alone" research into American community decline may hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis.

Join or Die premiered at SXSW in 2023 and is currently touring film festivals.
