2017 - OCD went in production with the short film, "Macy's Goes to War," the unknown tale of Macy's Department Store's contribution to America's war effort in 1942 told in the style of a black & white newsreel of the period.
Duncan and Andre produced another Boston 7DayPSA competition event for Flickers/RIIFF in association with WCVB-TV5 (ABC).
2016 - OCD came up with an idea for a new kind of Children's Film Festival and subsequently took it to FLICKERS & RIIFF. In 2017, the Children's Hospitals International Film Festival (C.H.I.F.F.) premiered at Boston Children's Hospital in April 2017 and is expanding to even more hospitals to bring an annual program of wonderful short films for children to an audience that really needs them, the young patients facing overwhelming health challenges.
2012/13 - OCD produced the short film / TV pilot HALF PINT. The film tells the the story of a young boy with no interest in learning about history who suddenly finds himself transported back to Normandy in the early morning hours of the 6th of June 1944. Co-produced by Andre Stark & Duncan Putney, written & directed by Duncan Putney, with Tony Bennis as director of photography & editor. (Winner Van Gough Award: Best Screenplay Short Film at the 2014 Amsterdam Film Festival, selected film for the red carpet opening night at the 2017 Normadie World War II Film Festival)
