Movies

Black Boys
Director
Illuminates the spectrum of black male humanity in America. An intimate, inter-generational exploration, the film strives for insight to black identity and opportunity at the nexus of sports, education and criminal justice.
Wendy’s Shabbat
Director of Photography
The film documents a heartwarming neighbourhood tradition of elderly Jews (the director tactfully emphasised their age by mentioning in the credits that even their dogs are old now) to gather together for the Shabbah and celebrate it right in the middle of a Wendy’s fast food restaurant. At first the employees tried to obstruct it, but old ladies and gentlemen persisted and talked to the manager who let them occupy several tables, listen to the Rabbi (who is, according to his words, the oldest working Rabbi in all of the States of America), break challah bread, and eat burgers with no bacon and french fries for four dollars only.
Carol Support Group
Director of Photography
A support group for people addicted to the movie Carol descends into mayhem as superfan Blanche embodies Carol Aird, luring her fellow addicts and therapist to temptation.
Against the Grain
Director of Photography
An inner-city kid has an opportunity to improve his life at an elite university. He struggles between maintaining his grades, staying loyal to his troubled childhood friends, and capturing the heart of his dream girl. But when he arrives at a crossroad he must choose between his past and future.
