La Madrina follows a beloved South Bronx matriarch and former “First Lady” of the Savage Skulls gang as she straddles the complexities of multiple worlds in a complicated journey through five decades of Bronx history and resilience. For more information: LA MADRINA | Salem Film Fest 2021. 

The Jump takes place in the 1970’s, following a Lithuanian sailor who makes a leap for freedom from his Soviet vessel onto a US Coast Guard Cutter. We follow him through a series of chaotic events during the Cold War. For more information: THE JUMP | Salem Film Fest 2021.
