Enhancing the Field Trip is a short educational documentary, which was created as the pilot episode in a thirteen part series on “Exemplary Teaching Series” in Science Education. Constructed of interviews, verité footage of school groups on field trips, and hosted interstitials, this film features the work of Professor William B. McComas at USC Rossier School of Education.

This video continues to be used at the USC Rossier School of Education in instructing graduate students in Science Education.

Eugenia is the true story of a little girl in Los Angeles, awaiting the assignment of a Big Sister. A few months after the film was completed, Eugenia was paired with a wonderful Big Sister.

This short video was created especially for the Big Sisters of Los Angeles, as a gift from several supporters. Its initial purpose was to generate fundraising enthusiasm and illicit support. However, as it was shown widely to prospective Big Sisters, it has helped enormously to strengthen resolve and passion for this charity work.

Think Science! is a 20-minute video sent to all school groups attending the California Science Center as a way to orient the students for their science field trip. With a narrative format and engaging visual style, it was written, directed and produced by Mercedes Coats and Amy Elliott, in conjunction with the California Science Center and the Program to Advance Science Education.
