Flusser Documentary (Post-Production)

Back in December I was hired to shoot a couple of interviews in New York for this documentary.  The producers/directors are located in Brazil, but needed interviews with Flusser's wife and daughter.  I carried boatloads of equipment into their cozy New York apartment and sweated out a couple of hours of tape of an interview conducted almost entirely in Portuguese.  I had no idea what was being said but could certainly follow the emotional aspect of the conversation, which at times became very intense.  The doc is currently in post but the trailer below has already aroused interest at several festivals in Latin America.  My small contributions were taped after this trailer was made, but at least you can get an idea of what it's all about.

Independent Voices

Independent Voices is a grass roots, not-for-profit, independent media organization in North Carolina. They produce a 30 minute long news show once or twice a month covering social justice issues in the state. I volunteered with them for a year and some change while living in Durham. The organization has been growing in recent months and is now working closely with several other media organizations in the triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill).

You can view past episodes (several of which I worked on) on their YouTube Channel.
