The month of March 2020 is a funny one. Im coming off my most productive trip to LA I've had in years and I have a ton of great events and a shoot approaching fast. But, we witnessed the coming of a global pandemic. I did my best to observe and take care of my own business once lockdown was ordered but prior did get out for some stuff. I took a bunch of meetings downtown for various film projects, grabbed some Chicken and Waffels at
Sweet Chick in the LES with my bestie Lisa. I attened a charity event that honored my dear friend and business partner
Lou Fasulo. It was a packed house at Westchester Country Club as people lined up to give him praise and worship for a life of dedication to teaching Law. A very proud evening and I got to spend it with my west coast friend Anthony Colombo Jr. who was a student of Lou's in a couple of decades ago. I celebrated my birthday under quarantine, not a first but thats a longer story. Under quarantine it is all about creating and with that you need equal parts output and input so I have been reading more and watch more Netflix. I am very excited to watch
LA Originals, a documentary on the life of my good friend and collaborator for many years
Estevan Oriol and his partner
Mr. Cartoon. A must see for anyone who loves art, music, and wants to learn about the pioneers who helped shape the LA chicano culture in the 90's.
