Premiering a new documentary at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

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.

Dan Talbot and Alfred Hitchcock in front of the New Yorker Theater

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.

Color!

We just worked with the amazing colorist Ben McInire on my short film Gone Before Your Eyes.

As our film nears completion, I’m so grateful to our colorist and my amazing DP, Andres Karu, who have helped to make the film look so beautiful.

Now we need to tackle the sound design.
