Embraceable You (a documentary)

A new stirring documentary exploring the river town of New Hope, Pennsylvania. An area that from its settlement opened its doors to individualism, diversity and creative freedom.

Written and Directed by Stephen Stahl

"A trailer by Stephen Stahl which is more important than the finished documentary." - David Adverson

 

Little Champions...Big Heroes
"Little Champions" is a feel good, uplifting and emotional experience in 12
one hour reality episodes. Guided by a host, the audience is introduced to
very special dogs that have happy and rewarding lives despite their
disabilities. The program will focus on dogs with handicaps such as
blindness, deafness, loss of limbs and other challenges which would
disqualify them from most dog competitions.

Written by Laura Hahn
