I will be going to Cannes this year for the first time with the FMA Program. This trip has been sponsored by the generosity of the Canada Council for the Arts.
We’re bringing several projects to the Marché du Film, notably the feature documentary about legendary distributors and exhibitors Dan and Toby Talbot, Echoes of Foreign Films. Let me know if you want to meet!
I’m excited to share that we are premiering a new documentary at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this February. This documentary is titled The New Yorker Theater: A Talbot Legacy.

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.
It was a very busy fall. I traveled to seven cities across the U.S. directing and producing shoots. One of the projects I’ve been working on is this series for Morgan Stanley, Exceptional Leaders/Exceptional Ideas.
I directed this episode of ELEI in San Francisco where Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi talks about Uber and the new future of work.
I recently sat down with Sprout Video's creative director Nick LaClair and a mezcalita to discuss staying safe on set during the pandemic. You can watch our discussion here.
I represented Strut at this year’s Soho Film Festival with the show creator Misha Calvert and actress Christina Toth. I produced the pilot for this female driven comedy. It has now screened at over 15 film festivals and won numerous awards including Best Screenwriting and Best Comedy at the Hollyweb Film Festival, Best Pilot at the New Zealand Web Festival and Best Web Series at the NYC Indie Film Festival, Hollywood Comedy Shorts and Terminus Film Festivals. Strut was also a part of the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival’s Creators Market. Needless to say, I am a proud producer.
