Winner Best Documenatry at Angelus Student Film Festival

I received some great news this weekend. La Quinceañera won best documentary at the Angelus Student Film Festival in LA. My friend Gabriel Nelson was there at the awards ceremony in my place and accepted the award on my behalf. The winners of the festival will screen oct. 27th at 5:30 at the DGA theater on Sunset blvd. I'm very excited to go to the screening and meet other filmmakers and industry professionals. Before the screening in L.A. I will go down to Tijuana for a couple days and visit the family and catch up with them. I am really looking forward to that as I have not seen them in about a year now.

Leaving for the Dominican Republic

Just an update. I will be leaving the country for a month to travel to the Dominican Republic on August 7th. There I will begin work and research on a new documentary that will be a personal portrait of a bachata musician. I will also shoot a bachata dance instruction video while there. After that I will return to attend a couple of film festivals with "La Quinceañera."

La Quinceanera documentary blog

Hello everyone,

Welcome to La Quineanera blog page. This is my first attempt at a blog and I'm excited give it a try. Laura Tyler, Director of the documentary "Sister Bee" recommended that I do this and after a little fiddling around I figured out how to. My posts will include reflection on the making of this documentary as well as current happenings, future events, and upcoming projects. I encourage you to share your opinion on my posts, my documentary, the Quinceañera tradition, and documentary film in general. Take care
