Updates, news and other things about my projects.
So grateful that GLENDALE PARADISE won 2nd place at the Mountain Shadow Short Film Competition!
After two back-to-back screenings, the audience voted our film second place out of ten amazing entries. A huge thank you to the festival for screening our film and to everyone for the warm feedback during the Q&A.
I am honored that The Mountain Shadow Film Society is showing GLENDALE PARADISE for their 11th Annual Short Film Competition in Walnut Creek. This is my second year at the festival, and I could not be happier to join them again.
Their Annual Short Film Competition has become an exciting addition to their program, presented each September to Society members, their guests, and the general public. The final program includes 8-12 Finalists, with a total running time of approximately 90-100 minutes in the program.
There will be a 3:30 PM and a 7:30 PM screening on Saturday, September 20th at the Las Lomas High School Theater, each followed by a Q&A.
I can’t wait to be there again. 🙂
We are ecstatic to stay in the Mediterranean and move from Cypress to Monaco.
GLENDALE PARADISE will screen at the Monaco International Film Festival on November 30 in Monte Carlo.
The Angel Film Awards – Monaco International Film Festival is a global community celebrating peace, love, and filmmaking.

I had the pleasure of shooting GLENDALE PARADISE in New York last year with Sibyl Reymundo-Santiago, John Theobald, a fantastic crew, an amazing cast, and the fabulous team of PlanetX.
The story takes place in the near future. Sam, an elderly man living in a seemingly perfect assisted care facility, begins to suspect that the video chat connecting him to his loved ones is not what it seems. When he uncovers the shocking truth, Sam must decide whether to accept the fabricated reality or risk everything to expose the truth, even as some of his fellow residents cling to the illusion of a perfect world…
I am looking forward to more screenings!
