07-06-16 (2016)
Series (Drama and Drama) Director & Cinematographer On July 6th, 2016, a traffic stop turned deadly was live-streamed on Facebook for the world to see. The complexity of race relations in the USA is larger than what I can grasp. This short attempts to archive one way with which this tragic/traumatic event has permeated the mundane moments in people's lives all over the world; weaving a network of emotions and experiences that are complex and non-monolithic. Written by Rafael Abreu-Canedo
Maxamba (2016)
Film (Documentary and Drama) Colorist The film is focused on the daily life of an older couple descendant of an Indian family, who immigrated from Mozambique, a former Portuguese colony, to Lisbon in the 1970s. The husband and wife both work out of their home in the neighborhood. As tailors, they have a close relationship with the other inhabitants, and they are especially integrated into the Hindu community that lives in this neighborhood. (Festival Scope)
Devotion (2014)
Documentary Director & Cinematographer This is meant to be viewed as a single-channel video installation with a large projection in a black-box like scenario. The shallow depth of field, extreme close-ups and removal of color is meant to remove these portraits from the contexts that normalize them. The hand-held quality of the camera work is meant to add emphasis to the observer and the mediation taking place through the camera. If the camera places us and these faces somewhere, where are we? Where are they?
