Tom Moore, Mike Shamus, Chris Benjamin stand on Lake Superior in front of the Mighty Mackinaw icebreaker.	BREAKING ICE  For more than 40 years, the icebreaker Mackinaw took on the challenges of smashing ice in the Great Lakes.  When it was time for a replacement, Chris Benjamin, Mike Shamus and Tom Moore decided a documentary was in order. The crew spent more than three weeks on both the old Mackinaw and the new Mackinaw icebreakers capturing what it's like to plow through several feet of solid, blue lake ice in Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior and in Green Bay on Lake Michigan. The spectacular footage, combined with an emotional decommissioning ceremony to make a great one hour documentary that aired on several PBS stations throughout the midwest.  The program was nominated for four Michigan Emmy Awards.
Taste of Taiwan Chris Benjamin and Ex-"Survivor" Keith Famie traveled to exotic Taiwan to produce a television show. Produced for the Taiwan Tourism Bureau, the one-hour program takes viewers all around the island just off the coast of mainland China that Portuguese sailors named "Ilea Formosa" or "beautiful island." Using the country's varied cuisine as a theme, Benjamin and Famie discovered the beauty and character of the country during a whirlwind 8-day location shoot. The crew traveled to the top of Alishan Mountain to capture a magical sunrise and the depths of Toroko Gorge to show one of the ten natural hot springs next to a mountain stream.
