Dobson's Universe

Expected release: Fall 2008 - 90 minutes

A portrait of John Lowry Dobson, his impact on amateur astronomy, telescope making, sidewalk astronomy and his cosmological theories. John Dobson is best know as the creator of the "Dobsonian Mount" which allowed larger reflecting telescopes (20-inch diameter and up) to be built by amateurs. His cosmology challenges the widely accepted "Big Bang Theory".

Pushing Glass: The History of the Amateur Telescope Making Movement

Expected release: Indefinite. Finishing funds needed
This documentary features many interviews and footage from amateur telescope making conventions and historical archives. Over 200 hours of material has been collected. Though it will probably be released as a feature film, there is enough information for a min-series. The surplus footage may be later released as bonus material for 'connoisseurs' of amateur telescope making history.
