Movers not Shakers

"Pay me enough, and I'll move the Empire State Building."

Discovery Channel sent Catherine off on a mission to plumb the secrets of successfully moving a lighthouse away from the encroaching Atlantic, relocating a fragile historic building from the middle of a sea of traffic, and where she so enjoyed directing the filming of a sinking ship. Ah, the fun. 
Wrote and directed this full-length television documentary for Disocvery Channel's 'Frontiers of Construction' series filmed in multiple locations in the USA.
