His independent productions include ONE RING CIRCUS, a documentary of a small circus traveling in the mountains; HEROES ANDSTRANGERS, a look at men, emotions and the family; and PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR, a documentary about the African-American poet.

His camera credits include Anne Lewis's JUSTICE IN THE COALFIELDS and FAST FOOD WOMEN, Anne Lewis and Mimi Pickering's CHEMICAL VALLEY and Elizabeth Barret's LONG JOURNEY HOME. He was the sound recordist for Barret's latest work STRANGER WITH A CAMERA, as well as a sound recordist on the recent FRONTLINE program, SCHOOL CHOICE.
He has received regional and national fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the American Film Institute, and the J. Simon Guggenheim Foundation, as well as from the Kentucky Arts Council and the Kentucky Educational Television. Garrison's current projects include EARL'S WAY, a documentary about an Appalachian, African-American gospel musician, miner, ball-player, blues musician, carnival dancer and church choir director.
