Geoff wrote and served as videographer for his short, By the Book, which was produced by Elizabeth Cipollina in 2008.  For 2009, Geoff worked with Elizabeth Cipollina as Associate Producer for the short, Truly There, worked as a videographer for Kato Productions documentary, LoliGirls, The Story Behind the Frills and Bows (Produced by Kate Slomkowski and Linsey Taylor), served as first camera for Producer Elizabeth Cipollina for the short, Deadline, which is in post-production.  Geoff continues to work as an independent videographer on various other projects.
