As the chronicler of America\u0027s new culture war - the divisive battle over marriage - de S\u00E8ve takes activist filmmaking back to its roots of affecting lasting change, and building a community network through the filmmaker\u0027s vision of social justice.

His work has been broadcast on PBS, CBC Canada, FOX Italy, Canal\u002B, HereTV! and others. De S\u00E8ve\u0027s documentary, \u0022Burying the Saints,\u0022 is a personal portrait of his eccentric aunts\u0027 search for lost immigrant history. De S\u00E8ve was the Director of Photography for \u0022Seeds\u0022, a documentary about the revolutionary \u0022Seeds of Peace\u0022 summer camp for kids from warring nations. De S\u00E8ve has lectured at New York University, the International Documentary Symposium in Montreal, Film/Video Arts in NYC, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the Tribeca Film Festival, the International Documentary Association and at more than 100h community-based screenings in the US and abroad.
