Producing a fashion web show
A few months ago I got the pleasure to direct and edit an episode of le’ bostonians starring the Boston-based fashionista and stylist Tara West, I thoroughly enjoy getting to know her and was pleasantly surprised when I learned how strong of a woman she is, overcoming a lot in her past and also being a family therapist...
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...
“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...

“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...
