Just For Fun (Documentary, Narrative, Music)

"Ideas such as "Beauty in itself is revolutionary" and "All new cinema is revolutionary" are idealistic aspirations that do not touch the neocolonial condition, since they continue to conceive of cinema, art, and beauty as universal abstractions and not as an integral part of the national processes of decolonization." - Octavio Getino and Fernando Solanas A collection of the (usually short) documentaries, narratives, and music videos I have worked on. Everything on this page was produced without a budget. Filmmakers should never cease to question their assumptions and challenge the status quo. Every image a filmmaker produces contains the power to colonize or to attack colonialism.
