In the mid 1980s he temporarily switched from documentary to commercial production and direction.

In the mid 1990s, he returned to school to study screenwriting at UCLA. This led him to a continuous flow of work as a script doctor, fixing, polishing and re-writing numerous feature films. He continues to keep his hand in the documentary world, his first love, but is also developing a number of original scripted and reality television shows.
