'AT WHAT COST?'
At What Cost? is a short film about the demise of a 100-year-old pecan grove in downtown in Austin, Texas. The film, by Tom Suhler, takes the form of an obituary for one of the 50 trees that were toppled to make room for the Barton Place Condominiums.

Distilled from video and over 1500 still photos, the film takes the form of a fictional obituary for one of the trees cut down on May 21, 2008. The deceased takes her name from “baum,” German for tree and verde, which is “green” in Spanish. The accompanying website, www.atwhatcostthemovie.com was devised to accommodate some of the research that didn’t fit the format of the film itself. There’s a tree survey that shows what the site looked like before and after the clear-cutting and there’s a link to the site plan that was filed with the city. There’s also a page where others can share their thoughts on the clear-cutting and its long-term implications.

10 REASONS NOT TO JOIN THE GALLERIA TENNIS & ATHLETIC CLUB
This short video was developed as a humorous sales piece that was shown at a pre-opening party for this new athletic facility in Houston. Conceived, shot and edited by Tom Suhler, it uses a little reverse psychology to extol the virtues of this exclusive tennis facility. "It's particularly tricky," said Suhler, "to do a video about someplace that doesn't yet exist. But I think we figured it out."
