After about two years of work, the short documentary, Broken, which Shie produced with director/producer Debra Sugerman, is finally complete and set for its premiere screening at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas. In addition to producing, Shie also composed the score, wrote an original song – Song for Peace – and provided all the postproduction audio services including sound effects editing and serving as the re-recording mixer. This is Shie’s second collaboration with Ms. Sugerman, and his first venture into producing.

Broken is a follow up film to Dear Mr. President, a feature documentary released in 2006 that followed five teenaged Israeli & Palestinian girls who met at Peace Camp, as they take a cross country trip from California to Washington D.C. attempting to meet President George W. Bush. On their journey they explore each other’s points of view and learn about coexistence and peace.

In early 2009, Bessan, one of the five girls who lived in Gaza, was killed when her home was mistakenly destroyed by Israeli tank shells during operation Cast Lead. Broken explores this event and the very real and tragic cost of violence and war.

World renown underwater cinematographer Howard Hall has asked Shie to score two more videos he’s working on. The first, called 100 Miles, is being specifically created for the San Diego Undersea Film Exhibition, which will take place in September. The other, called Off-Road ventures out of the water and takes to the sky with spectacular footage shot by Hall while flying his ultralight. To date Shie has collaborated with Howard on 6 other videos that have been viewed by over 200,000 people on Vimeo & Youtube.
