“Untitled WWII-POW Documentary”
A personal, historical portrait following the 93 year-old World War II Army veteran Harvey Conn in the present day, as he recounts the journey of his life: from growing up with Native Americans in the Michigan wilderness…to Harvey’s capture in North Africa by German forces, and subsequent imprisonment in Germany during WWII. Jeff’s known Harvey since May 2010.

NOW IN POST-PRODUCTION
“Untitled Autobiography of JMG”
In the tradition of the personal essay documentaries of Chris Marker, Ross McElwee, Alan Berliner, and Caveh Zahedi comes an autobiographical documentary about Jeff M. Giordano. In 2010, Jeff finished the 70 minute film “Long-Distance Runners: A Cross-Cultural Love Story,” which had an exclusive work-in-progress screening at the Anthology Film Archives (New York City). This film utilized 10 years of home video footage of Giordano, featuring romantic intrigue, global travels, and ancient experimental music performances from Jeff’s early band groups. “Untitled Autobiography of JMG” will be a re-conceptualized brand new film, consisting of footage from the 70-minute film and brand new sequences — spread over Jeff’s life from the year 2000 to present day.

NOW IN DEVELOPMENT
