One day on vacation in Peru, I headed to the beach with my camera. While there I saw the backside of a child playing with sand. As the boy turned around, my life changed forever. I knew that I was to become his champion.

Once I was drawn into his story, I was traveling the early morning hours to shoot and capture all of the best light. On the ride home hours away, I would complete edits and voice overs. Unknowingly, I was consumed. I turned around 5 years later to see this body of work I had created.

His medical condition deteriorated; there were no longer any resources for them. I flew to Miami from Peru to start generating interest, I constantly faced apathy, but I never stopped. I stayed 2 years in Miami but never lost touch and I created a support network for them by proxy.

My ambition as a documentary filmmaker is to tell stories with a unique cinematic style from the point of view of an auteur. To present a magical story that evokes feelings while taking the audience on an unexpected journey.
