FILM &
VIDEO

My very first documentary about the extraordinary life of my Grandmother, Lucy Loglisci.

​

My grandmother sailed to America from Italy at the turn of the century when she was only 5. With just her parents and brother and sister, they settled in New York City.  Years later in 1950, Lucy rose to the top in the restaurant business and took her place as a savvy business woman in a world that was ruled by men.

​

The documentary raised money for the Alzheimers Association​​​

Life of Lucy

Brought in to raise awareness to Uterine Fibroid Embolization.  A minimally invasive procedure that blocks blood flow to uterine fibroids, causing them to shrink. It's an alternative to major surgeries like hysterectomy or myomectomy, and it's often performed by an interventional radiologist.

The Commute
Part  1: Grand Central Terminal 

Commuting in and out of New York City through Grand Central Terminal for a handful of years inspired me to do a story about what it's like to commute through one of the most iconic train terminals in all the world.

​

The first installment of the series explores the history and architecture of the famed Grand Central Terminal and how it's demise was thwarted by Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis

An Epic Time-Lapse Journey Through Walt Disney World

I've always been fascinated with Time-Lapse so I took it upon myself to create a unique piece that focused on the changing light at Walt Disney World in Florida.  The goal was to shoot sunsets in each park from day to night and the results are magnificent! 

​

The work was so inspiring, that The Travel Channel reached out to use my work for a segment they were doing on the Disney Parks.

Magic Moments

Walt Disney
Tomorrowman

I spent nearly two years traveling back and forth to California interviewing and documenting  the stories from the designers,  engineers and songwriters who worked directly with Walt Disney during his journey from the 1964 New York World's Fair to the opening of Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida.

Following the Pandemic, we thought the project was dead, but after nearly 8 years of painstaking production, Tomorrowman has finally been adopted by the Disney Archives and is in it's final stages of production before it finds it's home on Disney +
