.WHAT BEGAN AS A FASCINATING PODCAST DISCOVERY BECAME POLICE DIVE.
MY GOOD FRIEND AND DIRECTOR TERESA CARANTE STUMBLED UPON A PODCAST EXPLORING COLD CASES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. ONE EPISODE FEATURED SERGEANT MIKE BERRY, A WORLD-RENOWNED UNDERWATER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATOR WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED TO SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST NOTABLE INVESTIGATIONS, INCLUDING THE ANTHRAX CASE.
INTRIGUED BY HIS STORY, TERESA AND I SET OUT TO BRING IT TO SCREEN. THE RESULT WAS POLICE DIVE, AN EMMY-WINNING SHORT DOCUMENTARY SUPPORTED BY ARRI AND LATER ACQUIRED BY PBS DURING ITS FILM FESTIVAL RUN. THE FILM RECEIVED TWO EMMY NOMINATIONS, FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT AND BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY, TAKING HOME THE AWARD FOR BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY.
