'Clara' is now online!

Here it is everyone! My new short movie 'Clara' has been released online (since last friday)!!
There have been many great responses already from viewers. The movie stars Nana Ponceleon (who also stars in my not-yet-released experimental short movie 'Beautiful Women Live By Night') who plays the lead role. The movie touches base on depression and insomnia.

'Clara' was filmed in Queens, NY early last year; one camera, one actress (on screen), one location, filmed all in one day. It was an emotional filming day and very fulfilling. It was a thrill working with Nana again and I'm happy people are able to view the final cut of the movie!

Here is the link, enjoy:

New Titles

'Shells', which had wrapped last summer, is having it's title changed to 'Monica, Monica'. It gives the movie a more intimate feel to the character.

'Monica, Monica' is set to be released online this November.

The other movie of mine that has been given a different title is 'All Things Considered', which is Part 1 to 'The Solitude Trilogy'. It is now called 'Nadine'.





'Clara' update


Putting the final touches on the upcoming drama 'Clara'. Maxine Antoine is the editor of this short movie. 'Clara' was filmed in early 2016. This is part 2 to what I am calling 'The Solitude Trilogy'. Part 1 was released in March 2016, now titled 'Nadine' (a.k.a. 'All Things Considered')

'Clara' follows a depressed, insomniac woman who has deliberately left her daughter and ex-boyfriend to live in her own hell by herself.

This is me and Nana Ponceleon's second collaboration. One of the best experiences for me as a director and dp.  Our first movie, still in post-production is 'Beautiful Women Live By Night', was our first.

'Clara' was filmed in one day and one night, with one camera, one location and one main actress.

More updates to come...
