- A sci-fi/thriller centered on a high school violinist who witnesses the collapse of space and time.
- The Beyond Sand Creek documentary is about the Arapaho tribal efforts to reverse assimilation by teaching traditional culture and undoing negative tribal stereotypes in the Boulder Valley. The documentary integrates the story of Fort Chambers, a fort constructed on the east edge of Boulder where the Third Colorado Cavalry troops were trained to ambush Arapaho and Cheyenne at the Sand Creek Massacre in Southeast Colorado. The Arapaho are working with public and private officials to return their traditional homeland to the tribe. We interviewed several tribal members from Oklahoma and Wyoming over the course of several years to learn their perspectives about racial discrimination that arose from the western expansion of settlers occupying tribal land.

- Filmmaker and Silver Sage Village senior cohousing resident Alan O'Hashi is mostly recovered from his deathbed illness in 2013. As a result of that experience, he's become much more aware of his health. One of his neighbors circulated information about a research study at the University of Colorado about the effects of exercise on brain health. Curious, he was selected to be a research subject. To measure success, one of the criteria is emotional health and strength of relationship building. Does living in a cohousing community be an added benefit to physical exercise? He interviewed six residents of newly-formed Germantown Commons to find out their motivations to living in cohousing and whether living intentionally with neighbors was a positive experience and what physical activities happen in a group setting.
- Cohousing is a collaborative living arrangement. Residents own their own homes, live private lives but share in the ownership and upkeep of common spaces such the garden and common house. It's a challenging way to live, but living together more intentionally is a hedge against being alone and isolated through the twilight years of life. Filmmaker and Silver Sage Village resident Alan O'Hashi was on his deathbed in December 2013. Following a 6 week hospital and rehab stay and a month of home confinement, he joined a yoga community to regain his strength but learned more about himself than just getting healthier. Through his reflections, he recounts his continuing recovery and weaves those experiences with the perspectives of neighbors with Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and those who find themselves in supportive neighborly caregiving roles.
- Filmmaker Alan O'Hashi's latest trek took him to South Africa where he was investigating a third documentary in the Aging Gratefully series. This 30-minute pilot mostly catches his initial impressions from Tolstoy to Gandhi to Mandela to the present day. There's an intentional community being formed in the Town of Memel and the Township of Zamani in the South African Free State Province by a friend and colleague, Steven Ablondi, and his wife Cindy Burns. Alan tagged along with the Memel Global Community architect and his across-the-street neighbor Bryan Bowen and a couple of his crew, Jamison and Molly. Bryan lives in the Wild Sage Cohousing community in Boulder. Alan embedded himself with a local buy named Shakes in the Black African community and even though it was only for a couple of days, he gained quite a bit of insight into the cultural dynamics, which are not unlike those he had encountered among my Northern Arapaho tribal member friends. As this story develops, how Native American tribes could incorporate cohousing concepts into their growing housing demand will also be investigated. There are generations-long traditional tribal cultures that have a norm about multi-generational care for elders. Does it makes any sense to form intentional communities around these customs?
- Aging Gratefully: COVID-19, Catharsis, and Community is the fifth in the Aging Gratefully documentary memoir series. It's an update to the 2015 project, The Power of Community. It includes the same group of interviewees who talked about their experiences at the Silver Sage Village Cohousing Community since 2015 and during the corona virus pandemic. If we've learned anything from staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, is what it's like to be isolated and lonely. What can the wider world learn from cohousing communities about why collaborating with others is so important for our physical and mental health? How can we re-imagine a different American Way that emphasizes cooperation and consensus above winning and losing; balancing the needs of the individual with those of the whole? These are two questions the movie explores.
- During World War II, Cheyenne native Alan O'Hashi's family avoided life in internment camps such as Heart Mountain. Alan now documents the overt and quiet racism pervasive there and throughout the United States and relates his experiences to current struggles and the issue of civility within society. DVD story includes interviews with Robert Walters, Terie Miyamoto, Carol Kishiyama Hough, and Brian Matsuyama who lived and worked in the once vibrant West 17th Street Japanese neighborhood.
