Only July 3, 2008 the Seattle SuperSonics officially relocated to Oklahoma City. I covered the team's last 6 months in town for the Seattle Weekly and made 10 short films to document the tragic ending of this beloved Seattle institution. In October 2009, I released a 120-minute documentary (for free on the Internet) about the sad story of the Seattle SuperSonics departure from the Northwest. Here is the link to Sonicsgate. Below are links to all of the films I made for the Seattle Weekly.
