I'm an artist, and like most, I am dictated by the inner voice/ muse that beckons for me to search deep into the dark. I find exhilaration in the fear of this internal unknown.
I am a director, singer-songwriter, an English teacher of 28 years who still loves the challenge of inspiring teens to read and write, and a proud product of the Bronx (NY).
Shadow Lands:
For the past two years I've felt compelled to expand beyond the music video genre to create a full-length feature, "Shadow Lands." I chose to tell the story of a street urchin named "Natalie" who has only known the dysfunction, until a long forgotten uncle reluctantly appears to look after her while her mother enters rehab. "Natalie' is a composite of several students I've had through the years, rough, brazen, and incredibly fearful of life, yet hides her fragility via a tough "street" personae. It was this delicate character, and the relationship that develops between uncle and niece, that I chose to portray, as he, "Uncle David," attempts to show her that there's more to life than the street corner, through the power of music and running.
First full-length feature entitled: Shadow Lands (an urban music-drama)
Directed music videos for singer-songwriter and son, Ivan Polanco (www.ivanpolanco.com)
