At this point, my brain is a bit fried from all the editing. I came at it head-on, fearless because I knew the story in and out and I knew what was needed to be shown. Or did I? Just like everything else in life I’ve changed in the past 2 years, I see and...
“Funny Pains” documentary: Post-production Vol. 2
The past 2 months have been intense, to say the least, I was pulling 14-16 hour days editing our documentary, I had a deadline set and I was determined to make it. After the first 3 weeks of organizing, transcribing interviews and making very hard decisions about what to put in and what leave out,...
“Funny Pains” documentary: Post-production Vol.1
After 2 years of directing my first feature documentary called “Funny Pains,” we have arrived at the stage in which all the hard work comes together, we sit down and start making some tough decisions about how the story will be told, what makes sense, what does not and the hardest part for me, what...

I’m in the #FilmsupplyChallenge
I’m a very competitive person, very. My wife makes fun of that all the time, and to be honest, I don’t even notice when I’m being competitive (most of the time there’s no need to be), that being said I don’t usually compete in anything, I used to love my Judo and Tae Kwon Do competitions...
That’s a wrap on episode 3 of le’ bostonians!
We recently wrapped production on the latest episode of le’ bostonians with fashion stylist extraordinaire Tara West. In every episode is my goal to ‘peel the onion’ and find the core of the story, what moves them, what do they do what they do, and how did the get to where they are now. I’m learning...
Storytelling with new immigrants and refugees
It’s been a couple of months since I joined Community Supported Films as one of the editing mentors, and after meeting Michael Sheridan (Director of the program) I was convinced of the importance of this program, its relevance and how it was the perfect place for me to share what I know when it comes to storytelling...
I only had one film mentor.
When I was in film school in New York City (A million years ago), I had the immense fortune of learning how to edit on a 16mm Steenbeck. Yep, good ol’ film. My teacher and editing mentor who later became my close friend, Hans Dudelheim was this adorable, hilarious and brilliant film editor who taught me...
I Remember Like It Was Yesterday: Season 2
My huge interest (almost obsession at times) for nostalgic stories keeps growing as I get older, maybe one day I’ll figure out why this affinity between us is so present, but in the meantime, I’ll keep nurturing my need to listen to people’s memories, it does no harm. This is how #IRLIWY came to be,...
