Usually, at this time of year, I am fully immersed in the New York Film Festival. This year, a documentary I’m working on brought me to the Zurich Film Festival.
Travel and film are two of my favorite things, so I am always grateful when I get a chance to experience the two together. I’m traveling around Europe shooting this film all month, so more to come on my European adventures!
I directed my first documentary this past August in Israel. It was a truly amazing experience. 
The documentary follows a group of inner-city kids from New York as they travel to Israel to perform at the Karmiel Dance Festival.
I’m currently working with an editor to shape the film. I can’t wait to share this documentary with the world!
The Trigger Creative team rocked the red carpet at the Big Apple Film Festival tonight for the world premiere of our short film, Cabin!

Check out my interview on Girth Radio. Sammy Younan interviewed me during TIFF this year. We talked about work, life and debated about Tom Hanks’ film deaths. Also, I tried my first margarita on tap; it was delicious.
You can listen to the full interview here. I hope you have as much fun listening to it as we had recording it!
A short film that I produced, CABIN, will have its world premiere at the Big Apple Film Festival!

It’s fall. The air has become more crisp and the leaves are changing colors. Fall also means that it’s time for the New York Film Festival!
On the red carpet with my good friend Heather Lindsay
The New York Film Festival opened with Ava DuVernay’s important, new documentary 13th. It’s on Netflix, and it’s a must watch. Common did a surprise performance at the afterparty which was awesome.
I saw Manchester by the Sea and Toni Erdmann on Sunday, which are two of the most buzzed about films of the year. They were both fantastic. Actually, everything I’ve seen so far has been really good. I caught press screenings of Moonlight, I Daniel Blake, The Unknown Girl and Fire at Sea before the festival. I’m looking forward to seeing more great film this week!
My fantastically talented friend, Paul Hutcheson, is performing his solo show Stupefied on Saturday at The Duplex. Don’t miss it!
