'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!

'The Solitude Trilogy'

'The Solitude Trilogy' is a exploration of women facing different degrees of loneliness, depression and insomnia in a single location. Three actress have been attached to this trilogy, they are: Marlies Bauer Bell, Nana Ponceleon and Grace Kiley. It's the second time I'm working with Marlies and Nana and the first time working with Grace. Each story is told in three separate movies ('All Things Considered', 'The Waking Hours' and 'Behind Glass Doors').

All three movies will be filmed in different locations. 'All Things Considered' is in post production. 'The Waking Hours' is scheduled to begin production in Feb. 2016 and 'Behind Glass Doors' is scheduled to begin filming in Fall/Winter 2016.

This trilogy will be dedicated to the late Belgian Filmmaker Chantal Akerman.

'Beautiful...' online!

The award winning short I directed, wrote and produced is now online! 'Beautiful Women Wake Up Early' was shot in 2011, spent 9 months in post production and was selected and screened at the New York International Film Festival- LA edition in 2012. At that film festival it won Best Experimental Short. The screening took place at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood, Calinfornia.

I'm very proud of this short, the whole cast was a thrill to work with and the crew was excellent and creative, helpful, passionate; with everyone's collaboration the vision in my mind came to fruition.
