A few months back a friend shared a Craigslist post with me, it basically said we are looking for an editor that knows what he or she is doing and needs to be gay/trans friendly. Having almost finished my documentary and having learned so much from it (especially in the post-production phase) I decided to give...
How I went from directing fiction to documentaries
It’s my father’s fault, I’ve been in love with movies since I was a little kid because of him. He raved about so many movies constantly, quoting dialogues, and telling the same stories of how and when he took my mom to see the great films of the lates 70’s and early 80’s, I would...
Aaaand we’re back to posting here!
So fatherhood cuts your time in less than half, who knew! I have a brand new life filled with endless love, endless nights (when she wakes up 6 times), and the endless pursuit of getting shit done when it comes to my work. I made the huge decision to work from home until my little...

Directing my latest music video: The lead actor.
In this case, my job was easy. Way to easy. Tony Almont aside from being a legendary singer and songwriter, he’s evolved throughout the years as an actor taking different roles in a few movies, short films, and theatrical plays. In all of the above, he has blown me away. Tony has the main quality I...
Directing my latest music video: Framing.
Tony Almont is a very close friend, but it’s weird because he’s also someone that I’ve admired since my teen years, I used to save up money to buy his band’s cassettes (yes, cassettes boys and girls) and play them all the freakin’ time, just ask my mom. I knew every song by heart and...
Commercial Storytelling
Whenever I sit down to craft a story, be it for a personal project or for a commercial assignment, I like to use the four pillars of storytelling as a basic framework. The four pillars are people, places, plot, and purpose. You need a balance between these four, go too heavy on one of them...
Deconstructing the shot: Tara West
Deconstructing the shot This is one of two posters that we shot for episode three of Le’ Bostonians, featuring the talented and always stylish Tara West.
