For 25 years, Mensch Media has produced films, radio programs, and websites that convey complicated messages in direct and effective ways.

For NPR's Justice Talking, Steve reports from Langley Park, Maryland on the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang and an innovative legal strategy being employed against it. And he visits marijuana growers and distributors in California in the early days of medical marijuana there, to find out what drives them.

For the National Security Education Program, we produced Worldstudy.gov, a website that introduced students to a unique opportunity for study abroad.

And another favorite: telling the story of a musical artifact that extended the life of one of my mom's best friends:

For OVATION - The Arts Network, we produced ArtsZone, an arts education website full of streaming media and art adventures. We also produced "The Codex Comes Home," a film and website about Bill Gates and Leonardo da Vinci.

Over the years, we've created projects for: The Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, NPR, PBS, the University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Hall, and the J Paul Getty Museum and Villa, among others.

Yes, this is sort of a zombie website - for something a bit more up to date, try visiting my Wordpress experiment.
