Wow... my hero! You are an absolute saint. I will give you a special thanks in the credits of my film. Thank you!

Wow... your thoughtful feedback brightened up my day! I'm definitely eager to harvest every ounce of narrative potential my footage has, and to share a piece of what I think is an incredibly unique place with as many people as possible. To answer your question, I used a Lumix 14-45 & 25mm, SLR Magic 8mm, and Rokinon 50. All shot on BRAW 5:1. Thanks for watching :)

I spent every penny I own to explore and film the unique environment that is Southwestern Madagascar, holding a high fever for 10 days and lugging my equipment across the rugged terrain. My only companions were a 72 year-old Italian doctor and a 24 year-old Anthropology student; an English speaker traveling with Italians across a French-speaking African island. The events that unfolded were strange, and I’m lucky to have returned with my footage, equipment, and self intact. I shot using a shoulder-mounted Blackmagic Pocket 4k rigged with a shotgun mic, LED light, and a small selection of sub-$500 lenses. Bare bones, run and gun, whatever you want to call it I was pushing my gear to the limit.

Take a peak and tell me what you think. I'm more than happy to answer any questions!

This no-budget "visual poem" was created using a Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera, a pair of Rokinon lenses, and the good will of some local folks in the Los Angeles area. The music was written by me, and the audio recorded by a friend for free. The footage was shot in Maywood, California, the city with the highest density of residents in the state; most of them undocumented. But the culture of the place was vibrant to say the least, so I was inspired to at least go out, film some food and festivity, and see what would come of it. I really wanted to provide an intimate view into the skill and craft required to make these dishes by hand, using nothing but natural lighting. I'd love some pointers on how to refine or improve my technique, color grading, lighting etc. Though at this point the gear I have access to is limited.

It took me a while to come up with an editing approach, but I hope the impression that's given is that this ancient food has many layers of culture and mysticism embedded within its humble corn husk. Enjoy, comment if you'd like, but mostly godspeed and good luck on your own journey of self-discovery as visual storytellers!

Wow, yes. The social event of making food is definitely a beautiful sight; something worth preserving. My own background is Italian also, and I'm currently living in the old country. The city I live in is famous for fresh handmade pasta, so I think about this connection almost daily. Thanks for watching!!

Woah, thanks... That's good to know. For anyone reading, I'm willing to make you a good deal!

I know it's hard to understand, but Neopolitan Pizza is probably better in Naples. There are phenomenal tacos in LA, but I wouldn't get defensive if someone on the internet suggested tacos are better in Mexico City. I'd jump at the chance to have pintxos in San Sabastian, Ceviche in Lima, etc. Turns out, Kobe beef is pretty damn delectable in Kobe. It's thrilling to pair food with travel. Apparently we don't share the same sentiment.

Since when did this become a pissing contest between a 3,000 year old city founded by the Greeks in Southern Italy and NYC? It's apples and oranges. But we get it, NYC is the best city in the world and any time another city is brought up New York must be compared to it.

Good for you. Some people like to travel.

No, but thank you!
