1-FLYING ON THE WINGS OF TIME- 2011 (Documentary about the cultural life of Buenos Aires, a personal journey in four chapters, which describes the changes which have taken place between the past (40 years ago) and the present. A look at some of the most important artists of the early 20th century and a very personal visit to the magnificent newly restored Teatro Colon, the largest opera house in South America and one of the most beautiful in the world, with musical background obtained from unique historical recordings. A wonderful journey focusing in spectacular monuments that adorn many public places and which reveal the strong influence and taste for Europe
2-THE MUSE IS THE MOUNTAIN- 2013 (Documentary about artisan women residing in the remote mountains of Monteverde, Costa Rica, the history of their rural upbringing, the challenges, difficulties amidst their surroundings and a male dominated society and their accomplishments individually and as a cooperative group, leading all to a greater sense of self confidence and improved quality of life)
3- NOW BOARDING -2015 (Comedy about the hilarious indignities of airplane travel as seen on a dog-centered airline. Seemingly an absurd tale, it’s actually based on most part on the director’s experiences as an average passenger checking in and boarding in various airports. The plot unfolds within the realm of dogs to make the experience more surreal and the unexpected ending gives it a special and memorable flavor).
4- DOG PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE-2016 (Comedy and parody of the US. Presidential Debates of 2016)
5- FOUR JOURNEYS-2016(Documentary about four Latin-American women who immigrated to New York: their struggles, stamina, adaptation to a new culture and eventual road to success).
6- CAN’T STOP THE SUN FROM SHINING-2019(Documentary about centenarian women between 94 and 105 years old. Inspiring, strong, zesty and unique in their personalities, this film conveys a message against ageism and in favor of older individuals who in spite of adversities and life challenges arrive with dignity and charm to the autumn of their lives.
