This is the first video I ever made. While I wasn’t the editor of record, I rode shotgun next to the editor doing everything other than the actual execution of each cut. By the end of this project, I’d learned enough to take on my own cutting. The project won gold in the local Addys, silver in the National Addys, as well as winning Best of Show in the Region Healthcare Communicators Annual Show.
LITVAK
The art of modern dance is something most people don't know a lot about. What's amazing is many things we don't understand intellectually, we can still feel. The quartet of short videos give voice to the members of LITVAK Dance, a contemporary modern dance company based in Northwest San Diego County. It has just been nominated in two categories for the Pacific Southwest Emmys.
This quartet briefly taps into their emotional and physical expression. Discover what motivates them and what drives them to take on the visceral, the sweat and the hard work to perform? Watch them take us on that leap of faith we can all relate to and gift us with an 'emotional high' we all experience when we let go.
Mano a Mano the Pilot
Two Men. Two Cultures. Two Passions. One Wall.
Hugo Crosthwaite and Jose Hugo Sánchez are fine artists working in two cultures between Tijuana and San Diego. Their art is a representation of the work that happens as a result of a lifetime of border crossings and the stigma that comes with it.
This was the pilot and proof of concept for a KPBS documentary. Sadly after much of the work had been filmed, one of the artists decided that he required compensation to complete his role. While we loved the project, paying him made no sense and the project ended.
