Los Ojos de Victor

client: self-produced

role: field producer, director of photography, location sound, editor

While traveling in Cuba in January 2017, my companions and I made the acquaintance of Victor Mora, a painter and educator. This video is a work in progress intended as the seed for an expanded project on community artists in Cuba and around the world. After rough translation of the interviews, I wrote and assembled the initial cut then worked with remotely with the NY-based director as well as in-person with the Oakland director.

Year of the Dragon

client: Colorful Mamas of the 99%

role: field producer, cinematographer, location sound, editor

I was contacted by activist group Colorful Mamas of the 99% to cover their planned action on Bank of America following Occupy Oakland. Whereas I worked with a second shooter to cover the group's previous action on Wells Fargo a couple months prior (video on my nonfiction page), I covered this event solo.
