Directing my first Movie in Los Angeles

In the beginning of this year, I had the privilege of directing my first short film in California. “Missing at Sea”, a drama/crime thriller, a poetic yet dark exploration of the American dream, and an intimate story about how far a young boy is willing to go for his family.
I’ll admit, I had never been so nervous and stressed about making a film until now. The doubt and fear that this will not turn out how I want it to plagued me for a long time. But I’ve learn that it’s ok to feel nervous, to be anxious. I’m standing here today because of the people I love. Thank you so much to everyone for your support on this project, it wouldn’t have been possible without any of you. These last months have been more than I could have ever asked for.
