I hope everybody had a great Valentines Day. And in case you missed it, a film I wrote and directed with a spectacular cast and crew won Audience Choice Award (again) at the 2020 Valentines Day SDSU Film Festival. Love is in the air, Love Is No News. https://youtu.be/UXiM2Ixeirg

Happy Birthday Maki Mannami! We have been artistic partners, collaborators and friends for many years now. It is exciting that we have more projects in the works. Have a wonderful birthday!
