Carina: "ON MY WAY" (2025)
In On My Way, Carina wakes up in a surreal dreamscape—a world alive with color, rhythm, and movement—shared with her dancers. Everywhere she turns, flashy boys like Ken try to pull her focus, offering flirty distractions and shallow temptations. But Carina’s not buying into the noise. Her eyes are set on something bigger: herself. Whether she’s lifting weights, writing poetry, or chasing the bag, she’s determined to level up. Even when the path blurs or she loses herself in the hustle, her mission is clear—be bold, be brilliant, and stay unapologetically on her way.

Friday Night Fish (2020)
Our Dog, Blue. (2019)
Our Dog, Blue. is more than the director’s chronicle of his summer of rescuing a lost Cane Corso Puppy found randomly running down the highway. It is an evaluation of the importance of responsible dog breeding, puppy socialization and training. While the documentary is bittersweet demonstrating the love that the director’s family has for Blue and his love for the family, it also addresses with objective professionalism these more serious topics. The topic of euthanasia is handled with great sensitivity and the viewer ends up with a better understanding of the potential pitfalls of rescuing a guarding breed.
