- PHOTO EXHIBIT SPONSORED BY THE L.A. COUNTY -

 

CROSSING THE FRAME is the kick off for a long desired project I hope to never see finished. This ongoing series aims to put in front of the camera the women who work behind it.   Before taking their portrait I interview each filmmaker to learn more about challenges faced in their home towns /countries and their journeys. As every single face portrayed in this series - and uncountable others - I also came to L.A. pursuing a dream. What I encountered in these past years here is a community of young female filmmakers who arrived from different parts of the world hoping to work with film and to be respected for it. Even if the aspiration is the same no two stories are. And I am interested in learning the stories of a new generation of artists who believe that in order for one woman to succeed all must be recognized. These women are a continuous source of inspiration. As a cinematographer, my biggest passion is representing through images the stories that are trusted to me. So here are the stories I really wish to portray - the tales of true Hollywood muses.
