The Nazi Drawings Documentary
In November 1999, Wyrick completed “The Nazi Drawings” documentary, which is the first major short documentary by Wyrick, who served as director, cinematographer, and editor on the project. The documentary explores the history and passion behind artist Mauricio Lasansky's powerful graphic series depicting the horrors of Nazi atrocities, and has a very strong anti-violence message.
The Nazi Drawings has won numerous awards including the Mid-America Emmy Award for Best Documentary, and Best Documentary & Best Director in the New York International Independent Film Festival, and was broadcast across the nation on PBS stations during Holocaust Remembrance Month in 2005 (to learn more, please visit www.NaziDrawings.com).

XapVision Nature Scenes
Another major production by Wyrick is XapVision Nature Scenes - an original DVD production featuring nearly three hours of beautifully filmed, relaxing and engaging scenes and sounds of nature.
Wyrick spent three years filming literally hundreds of scenes of nature using a high-end digital production camera to capture the beauty and detail of the natural world. He then compiled what was originally four separate DVDs into one "super-length" DVD that is nearly three hours long, and now available for purchase online.
The XapVision Nature Scenes DVD was first designed for Hospitals, Hospice Organizations, & Nursing Homes, but it has now become a major hit with the general public as an enjoyable and unique DVD that provides a "window into nature" and can be enjoyed by people of all ages (more info at www.NatureScenes.com).
