CINEMATIC PROJECTS

A selection of Cinematic projects I’ve helped produce

EVERYTHING FOR DAWN - (2022)

Everything for Dawn is an original coming-of-age story spanning the 1990s. Dawn is a teenager dealing with the impact of her father’s suicide. Her personal tragedy becomes public when his paintings become celebrated as “outsider art.” With each episode written by a different librettist/composer pairing, the opera is an examination of the ways we seek solace in a broken world, community intersectionality, and the rationale for making art.

Directed by Alison Moritz.

Produced by Aaron Siegel, Jason Cady, and Kamala Sankaram.

Cinematography by Eric Thomas Paton.
