In Development
Pride and privilege collide and tensions run high when two struggling teens are thrust together into the wilderness. Faced with perils and pitfalls, can they overcome their differences and emerge from their haunted past?
Feature Documentary | 2024
The story follows four deaf “singers” of the world-renowned El Coro de Manos Blancas (The White Hands Choir) of El Sistema de Venezuela who travel from their humble homes in Barquisimeto to Los Angeles to appear in Beethoven’s only opera “Fidelio”, directed by Gustavo Dudamel alongside the LA Philharmonic and the acclaimed DeafWest Theatre.
We follow them to the bright lights of Hollywood and through their return home, a return to reality and their lives, rediscovering the importance of music in the world they face due to deafness. What our protagonists don’t know is what awaits them is something much bigger. A dream has come true. This is a story of first times.
Animated Pilot | 2024
“Ground Up Fables” endeavors to build awareness around the exponential depletion of our farmable soils. Scientists speculate that due to nutrient and biomass reduction, the world has only 40 harvests remaining. This is a global crisis which needs our attention.
The message of this film in both its story arc and its marketing will serve to energize the audience to make choices supporting the regeneration of healthy soils and to act in our Mother Earth’s best interest.

Who I Am Not
Feature Documentary | 2024
What makes a male, and what makes a female? Where do we draw the line, and does it really matter? Sharon-Rose Khumalo, a South African model and beauty queen, plunges into an identity crisis after finding out she is intersex. In her quest to deal with gender dysphoria, she needs the guidance of somebody just like her. The only person who will help is Dimakatso Sebidi, a tomboy intersex activist who turns out to be her complete opposite and her biggest fear.
The two parallel but divergent stories are an intimate look at the struggle of living in a male-female world, when you are both or neither. For the first time in a creative documentary, Who I Am Not gives a voice to the long ignored and mostly silent two percent of the world's population: the intersex community.
