Lubbock or Leave It
Lubbock or Leave It is a charming introduction to an isolated West Texas town. Using narration combined with music from Lubbock musicians, the short elucidates the ecology, history, and culture of the little known area. Told through the eyes of a Lubbock native, the piece is at once a love letter about and a gentle mockery of the cultural oddities of the place.

Happy Hour
From blue collar to white collar, hard hat to top hat, all segments of the working population engage in happy hour, a ritual symbolizing the transition from work to free time. But besides cheap booze, what are the motivations for pursuing post work drink? Happy Hour is a thirty-minute documentary program exploring the diverse populations who head to the pub in the evenings and their reasons for going, both stated and implied.

The program includes interviews with both happy hour patrons and bartenders, as well as with experts on drinking and drinking behavior. Happy hour is explored as a third-place, away from work and home, helping to enhance both social and work relationships by providing a time when normal social rules are in question.
