I am a woman of many passions: Film, social justice, food, music, dancing and…succulents, to name a few. I’m working on a new documentary, my third in the past two years! It’s about house producer, DJ and dancer Juliet Mendoza. This film is part of a series about electronic musicians and DJs who have been at it since the days of DJing with only vinyl. 

These music documentaries I’ve been working on essentially show how connected to music we are at an extremely base level. Down to the molecular level. I set out to start this series for many reasons. I have a deep respect for any artist who has been honing their skills and has stayed passionate and connected to their art form for decades. It’s one thing to have a passing hobby and be interested in something for awhile. It is an entirely different thing to be totally intertwined in an art form for a better part of your life.

This documentary also feeds my soul because I love working with other artists. I often find artists speak a different language that other artists understand. It doesn’t even matter what the art form may be. If I meet a dancer, ironwork maker, writer, or any other person who creates for the sake of creation. There is a large chance we speak the same language. The language of art.
