Affairs of the Mind is a personal and confrontational story exploring the nature of jealousy and the parameters of infidelity.

The documentary follows a private detective, Steve Murray, through the process of a marital investigation that tracks his client's transition from doubt to certainty. Along the way we examine why Murray himself is drawn to this line of work and discover what his vengeful and mostly female clients are really getting for their money.

Affairs of the Mind won the Best New Artist Award in the 2002 Third Coast / Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition.
