About Me
I am an emerging documentary film maker. My interest is immigration. My first documentary, The Second Cooler, explored root causes and larger issues surrounding immigration since the implementation of NAFTA in 1994. I am in the process of putting together proposals for an upcoming immigration documentary, entitled Shithole Country. I am interested in peoples affected by immigration and related policies. If I had unlimited resources, I'd do a big budget documentary about Honduras's Berta Cáceres and her legitimate complaints about then Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. I'd do documentaries also about people who have passed under the immigration and reporting radar, e.g. mostly white women married to undocumented men who live in fear of ICE.
