Four days at .film.fest with great friends.
Saw some films that really blew me away.

Cue Heroes — just felt right.

This year the selection committee really knocked it out of the park.

That’s the thing with local fests… you meet people here, end up working together later, and suddenly that’s your crew.

Barely slept, don’t care.

First day in production with HMIs… and yeah, the Joker 400 blew the bulb instantly.

That’s the risk with old school gear.

But when they work?
That light just hits different.

So now we’re here fixing it on my day 😜 Stay tuned.

We were in Sitges—Spain, just crazy beautiful everywhere you look—and somehow in the middle of all that, we still found time to sit down and talk through a scene that wouldn’t leave us alone.

That’s how it always goes. Doesn’t matter where we are, we’re still working it out.

That conversation right there turned into what is now the most ambitious project we’ve ever tackled together… and I’m honestly proud of what came out of it.

And this only works because of who you surround yourself with. The ones that challenge you, push you, call you out when needed.

Cheers to you, brother. You drive me up the fu***ng wall… but you don’t stop. I respect the hell out of that.

❤️

Such a wild ride at 🇪🇸 Honored to premiere our latest film The Well Spouse with .pictures here in Spain. Met incredible filmmakers and learned so much along the way. Until next time, SITGES! 🎬🔥

This cactus is a war god.

It doesn’t flinch.
It doesn’t forgive.
It doesn’t need you.

This isn’t a houseplant.
It’s a warning.

Forged in sun.
Fed on drought.

Its spines are commandments.
Its silence, a threat.

You don’t water this thing.

You respect it.

Neglected. Wrapped in crumpled paper at the bottom of the box.
I focused on the rare ones—glamorous, showy, expensive.
This one? Almost gave it away.
Then I finally unwrapped it… and it hit me like a dagger made of stars.

It’s brutal. Beautiful. A living relic.
Don’t sleep on the ones you almost toss.

Special thanks to for this gorgeous cacti!

The coquí’s singing, the leaf is holding on… and so am I.

This leaf holds light like it’s been through something.
Veins like stories.
And that coquí in the background?
Still singing—no matter how much spray they waste.
Soy puertorriqueño. Y como esta hoja… yo también sigo creciendo.

Never forget the 4,645 lives lost because of hurricane Maria.

A short documentary about the Puerto Rican diaspora on the mainland during and after hurricane Maria and how they came together to help their fellow neighbors on…
