I just got home from a mixer at Good Time Film Studio and we are so lucky with all the incredibly talented folks who live in the Hudson Valley. If you need a space to shoot in or you want to connect with some epic folks then you definitely need to check them out.
Finding my career path was not a straight road. The road signs cleared when I realized a job existed where one day I could capture freedom fighters demanding justice and the next be at a concert with a deaf musician.
Life is never dull as a filmmaker!
As Brenda Bufalino, an 85 year old tap dancer, said today, āIām exhausted but what else are you going to do? Youāre here, live! Put on your shoes.ā
Iām going to keep putting my shoes on Brenda. I hope you all keep lacing up too. No judgment if itās velcro š

Ever wonder who youāre actually working with? Iāve been finding out a lot more about my co-workers lately as Iām working on the Hudsy documentary. Yes, youāre about to know all our secrets. Yesterday, I sat down with Hudsy co-founder Angel Gates and guess what his name isnāt really Gates š„ø

When I am not working on graphic design projects for HUDSY I can be spotted traversing the beautiful trails of the Hudson Valley, taking ācat napsā with my cat, working on personal art projects, or sipping a warm drink at my favorite local coffee shops. I am planning to get back into photography this year and I would love to have a photography buddy so if anyone on here wants to grab a camera and explore with me HMU!
