Finding Compás

I was music supervisor for this independent film that features important Flamenco dancer Farruquito, Encarnita Anillo Guitarist José Luis De La Paz, La Tania, El Grillo, and Sara Moncada.  A deep dive into the world of Flamenco is a journey into the complexities of human emotions and the expansiveness of the human spirit. When we juxtapose Flamenco with the life of a young American high tech entrepreneur, we uncover the part of our humanness that transcends, geography, culture, race and beliefs. In the very raw place of loss and grief, we are all the same. The story uses Compás, the unifying rhythmic structure of Flamenco to demonstrate that we can find our way through the messiness of life and allow our challenges to become part of the art of our being.

Guadianes del Maiz- Gustavo Vasquez

Gustavo Vazquez’ documentary film Los Guardianes del Maíz (Keepers of the Corn) the story of native corn told by the indigenous farmers, artisans and cooks in Mexico whose ancestors shepherded the ever-evolving seeds from the dawn of agriculture into the 21st Century. These voices are joined by community leaders, scientists, chefs, and others whose knowledge and activism stand not only in defense of food sovereignty and the genetic integrity, diversity, and community ownership of native seeds, but in defense of a durable cultural legacy and a way of life.
