A LIFE LIKE THIS (2023) 43 minutes: A documentary portrait, highlighting the lived experiences and creative work of four outsider artists working and living with disability in Central Pennsylvania. Artists with disability, both mental and physical, consistently face discrimination, inequity, and underexposure at both local and national levels. This film aims to de-stigmatize an underrepresented demographic of artists as it tells the four unique stories of Malcolm Corley, Adam Musser, Sybil Roe Thompson and David Nolt who create without pretension or boundaries as a means to communicate and express how art shapes and impacts their lives.

THE SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE (2025) 57 minutes: Photographer Shelby Lee Adams reflects on his life-long journey to seek out identity by capturing portraits of Appalachia’s mountain people through the lens of his camera. Adams’ need to document the unseen self-providers creates a desire to keep alive a culture that is slowly disappearing. As Adams prepares his archive for future generations, he relives his childhood roots through annual visits to the hollers of Eastern Kentucky.
