Storytellers

RECENT WORK  My debut feature film, Una Noche, was supported by the Time Warner Foundation through the Tribeca All Access program.  I was awarded the Creative Promise Award, which was an incredible support to the production of the movie.

MY PARENTS are both animators and always encouraged us to be creative.  I have a vivid memory of crawling under the Steenbeck editing machine as my mother was cutting film.  It was noisy and there were pieces of film with little pictures hanging everywhere.

I CAN BE INSPIRED BY a little kid crying because their toy has been snatched, standing in an abandoned fire station or the smell of my grandfather’s pipe.  I am inspired by the subtleties, complexities and things that confuse and anger me.

I ENJOY FINDING the story that grabs me and that I am willing to fight for years to get made.
