SELECTED CREDITS

I filmed over the course of more than a year with the family of Eyvin Hernandez – an LA public defender imprisoned in Venezuela – as well as with the State Department’s Special Presidential Envoy battling to free him: Roger Carstens, America’s top hostage negotiator. I conducted interviews with Eyvin’s family, friends and people who’d been imprisoned with him, and oversaw shoots with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and other White House officials. I traveled to Venezuela, LA, DC, the Caribbean and San Antonio to make the film.
