The Republic Of Baseball is an ongoing multi-media project created in collaboration with Plains of Yonder. A raw, surreal, anthropological journey to the island of Hispaniola where cultures have mixed in bloody power shifts for centuries. The joy and innocence of boyhood collide with the impatient expectations of the economic salvation of baseball. The young boy's game quickly becomes a desperate opportunity to raise his family out of poverty. 

​

The project continues to expand in vision to include intersections of documentary film, experimental music, audio interactive, Virtual Reality and physical mediums.
