I AM A SUNDANCE EPISODIC LAB FELLOW! and... I am an odd, genderqueer, straight-edged, Hispanic, PunkRocker, filmmaker/artist/Surrealist, FROM the cisgender bastion of privilege,racism and homophobia known as Reagan era Darien….AND Due to my mom’s alcoholism and her attempted murder of me—I became homeless at 15, did not graduate high school, lived on the streets of NYC and CT, but later got accepted to NYU Tisch for my photographs of my punk community, went to SUNY Purchase film, was then MOBY's keyboardist…and, much later, graduated AFI. My work has been collected by MOMA and I am a writer/director/teacher in Los Angeles.
