It is a place that gives movie goers the opportunity to view dozens of films, short films and television pilots, both in person and online, depicting their beautiful people, stories and culture the way they want to see it, away from the stereotypical Hollywood portrait.

Marisol's Christmas - Azusa Pacific UniversityRecently had the pleasure of directing the play Marisol's Christmas as part of a One Act Festival. Written by José Cruz González, it tells the story of a Mexican family, emigrating to the United States on Christmas Eve. With laughter and a few tears this play moved audiences to challenge preconceived ideas on immigration and the enduring spirit of family.
The cast was fantastic to work with. Azusa is developing some outstanding actors. Remember these names, you will be seeing them in the future especially on some of my projects. Starring: Alyssa Rojas, Devon DeLeon, Faith Orta. |

STATIC - Episodic Sci-Fi Streaming Program
Pilot Episode Written
I've been working with two-time Emmy Award winning director, Scott Winant (The Thing About Pam, Thirty Something) on developing this episodic Sci-Fi program. The results have been outstanding! The Pilot Episode is written and according to Scott, "Looking really good." We have begun pitching this show to producers and production companies as well as agencies. There is a really good response to this project. More to. come.
