I have long been an attorney living parallel lives. I am currently converting an original fiction screenplay for short to feature length, which I plan to direct and produce. Looking for experienced Spanish-speaking DP to work closely with.
I am in equal parts attracted to the solitude of writing, as to teamwork on set and other phases of production. I have collaborated with several film projects as a lawyer, but I am looking to engage in production and creative positions.
My heritage is Hispanic and Middle Eastern. I speak several languages. I am well traveled and culturally adaptable to almost any situation.
I am looking forward to making magic with new work friends!

Photographer During the Summer of 2019, the people of Puerto Rico creative expression out of economic despair and abandonment by the government after devastating hurricanes only two years before. For weeks, hundreds stood 24/7 making ferocious claims in front of La Fortaleza, the executive mansion. After the Governor announced he was stepping down one night, the city suddenly emptied out. In the silence, one man remained. An army of one. Waving the Puerto Rican flag to uniformed armed men, because the real cry had not yet been heard. The man took a rest with the Governor still inside. The hands of people who have not been heard are printed on the cement barricade. The man represents the hurt and tired collective who lay vulnerable before the power structures.
