  • Bernardino Bernardino

    Bernardino is a short documentary featuring the life of a hardworking 56-year-old Mexican dwarf, living with his extended family in the southwardly shadow of downtown Los Angeles.  Bernardino’s brother brought him from rural Mexico to the United States for a “better life.”

    Bernardino was born severely deformed with a large protruding hump rounding his back arching over his tiny frame as both of his feet bow outward causing him to shuffle forward.  Bernardino suffers from major health issues, yet faithfully works 8 to 10 hours a day, six days a week.  Bernardino has never asked for or received public assistance from either the United States Federal or California State governments.  Bernardino supports himself.

    The heart of Bernardino’s story is courage, family, community, interdependence, and above all, self- acceptance.

  • Lousy In Love Lousy In Love

    Lousy in Love is the comedic tale of “Lovestruck Louisa,” a protagonist who searches for love without, it seems, the benefit of hindsight.  This silent, black and white comedy was shot in 16 mm and tells Louisa's tale of true love - lost and found and back again.  The producer's use of the silent film genre aims to claim the birthplace of Hollywood filmmaking for a Latino audience.  “Lousy in Love” also serves as an ode to the refrain “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”
