| About You: |
To whom it may concern:
I’ve been in the production business for 18 years. While working at ABC News I
won an Emmy, a Peabody and a DuPont Award.
Then I went to LA where I produced spots for Pepsi, Canon, Hecs, Fisher Price, Miller Lite and the People’s Choice Awards.
I also wrote for or had scripts optioned by Josh Oppenheimer, Julia Pierrepont and Rodney Wilson. I’ve directed over thirteen films (shorts). Several of them have been in festival all over the US.
I currently teach at the New York Film Academy and have been the director of their Summer programs in Harvard and Mumbai three years running.
100% bilingual (English & Spanish).
