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...
So we had a baby
Hey! Yes, yes, it’s been a long time since I’ve stopped by our award-winning blog (<– not true), I have a 2-month beautiful baby girl that has taken over my life, and I’m more than glad to give it to her, I was lucky enough to be able to work from home and be around her...
From canvas to modal: the art of Seth Minkin

As we continue to work with Tara West to create amazing visual content for her YouTube channel, we’ve had the opportunity to visit some beautiful locations and meet very interesting people. For this shoot we find ourselves walking up the...
“Funny Pains” documentary: Post-production Vol. 7
Making it funny. That’s what this is all about. This is the story of a woman that wants to make you laugh, wants to make you have a good time and in her words, “make you forget about your shitty life for a while”. A lot is said about the New York audience during the documentary,...
“Funny Pains” documentary: Post-production Vol. 6
“Be like water my friend” has to be one of my favorite quotes, it comes from the great late Bruce Lee, it refers to our ever-changing world and how we must try to adapt quickly and try to have a good time while doing so. This quote lives with me every single day. I’m still struggling...
A labor of love
I remember sitting in natural science class when I was a kid and hearing about the expected life cycle of a human being. You are born, you grow, reproduce, grow old, and then you die. At the time that progression sounded about right, and we all assumed that would be the case for most of...
“Funny Pains” documentary: Post-production Vol. 4
“Fresh eyes” is the name of this past week. I stepped away from the editing station to shake off any tunnel vision I might have had during this process (after some great advice from my brother in arms, Princeton), it’s served me good because I immediately was able to point out spots in the doc...
“Funny Pains” documentary: Post-production Vol. 3
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...
