When I began this project three years ago, I set out to make a film that explores Fatherhood in every possible way. It was to have an Aaron Coplandesque score with a thundering narrator and iconic images of fatherhood in all of it's glory. Now, as I near the finish line on this journey, I ...

Hidden Treasures
As the film nears completion, one of the things I’m still doing are some last minute recordings of people talking about their fathers. What’s truly amazing about this process is that each interview seems to be like uncovering some hidden treasure that, for a lot of people, has been unspoken for their whole lives. For many it’s a cathartic experience and for me to bear such witness is truly a gift.

In Memoriam: Ralph Benitez
A few days ago one of the project's subjects, Ralph Benitez, passed away. Given his long battle with AIDS and his deteriorating health, his death was not a shock, but it is still so sad. Ralph exemplified all the best we hope for in a dad. His care, love, wisdom and sense of humor ...

Ralph and his clan are all about the love for family. You can feel it coming into his home in the Bronx. The ...
Breaking The Silence With A Ringtone
I realize it's been a while since I last checked in. Chock it up to moving to the burbs while battling a nasty case of strep, a kitchen that doesn't work yet and two young children running rampant among the heaps of unpacked boxes. Ahh, the burbs. It's nice not to have people ...
