This documentary is directed by Sergio Maza and I worked as a producer on it. This film is about one of the first arthouse cinemas in America that the legendary distributor and exhibitor Dan Talbot opened on the Upper West Side of New York in 1960. It is a love letter to cinema and something we hope inspires future generations of filmmakers and film lovers.

I had the privilege of attending Telluride’s Mountainfilm Festival this year. Not only is this festival located in a beautiful setting, but it also hosts an incredible lineup of important social and environmental documentaries from around the world.

I produced the pilot for Misha Calvert's Strut which will be a part of this year's Tribeca Film Festival's N.O.W. Creator's Lab. Strut is a female driven comedy, and Misha is a powerhouse who's currently developing 9 different projects. She's definitely someone to watch!
