My mini-feature Chip & Bernie Save Christmas with Dorf was selected to be a part of the 2017 FICAIJ Film Festival in Mérida, Venezuela. One of the things I love most about this festival is that it’s dedicated to children’s entertainment — which is exactly what I love producing.

The festival also features workshops for kids who want to become filmmakers themselves, giving them the chance to learn how to create their own films. The Festival Internacional de Cine y Audiovisual Infantil y Juvenil (FICAIJ) brings together over five thousand students, ages six to eighteen, who participate in the workshops and enjoy the films being screened.

I’m especially proud that Chip & Bernie Save Christmas with Dorf was awarded the Audience Choice Award. It’s always rewarding to see our films reach audiences who speak a different language — it proves that comedy really has no language barrier.
