Creating My First Short Film: CIALT
What started as a “small” personal project eventually grew into a short film with over 30 volunteers, 5 Actors, A drone, 4 shoot days, Key Art designed by a 4-time Emmy-winning art director, and a score composed by an award-winning composer. So much for keeping it simple!
It all started on Threads in the sweltering heat of the Madrid summer when I answered a post from Screenwriter Sophie von Rheden looking to connect with directors and filmmakers in Madrid. I entered into the world of video creation through fashion films and music videos and I had been contemplating a personal project to challenge myself with something more narrative-based and slightly more commercial than the more fluid and fast-paced timelines of fashion and music videos.

NEW Music Video Launch: “Toxicidad” by The FO’s
I'm incredibly excited to share the launch of the newest music video by The FO’s! There is no better way to start the new year than with a busy couple of weeks and the launch of a new music video: "Toxicidad." This was a dream assignment -- They basically gave me the keys to the studio and let us play with lights!
The best challenge was the harsh reality of the lyrics with an impossibly catchy song that perfectly captures the merry-go-round of toxic relationships and cycles of abuse while trying to find your own voice.
