So many fantastic artists in one place together for a week will be so special. Lastly thank you @hollywoodreporter and The Gotham for specially calling me out and name dropping #howtoshootaghost.

To celebrate our @hollyshorts screening in August and our @psfilmfest screening this past month, we’re dropping the official teaser for If I Die in America ❤️‍🔥 We also screened at @themoviecrush where @gilperezabraham won best performance! Bit the bullet to recrop for vertical but IG still deep fried it so watch on my website (in bio) if you care!

Was an honor screening and talking about my film “The Mood in the U.S Today” at the inaugural Social Impact Film Fest here in New York. It’s always great to be given a platform to not only share the work, but also discuss it with fellow filmmakers. Thank you to everyone that came out, and special shoutout to the incredible @natalia.rivas1 for organizing and moderating the Directors’ Q&A!
