I also work as freelance video editor. So far, I’ve edited a feature length documentary film called Cuba es mi Pátria: the Homeland I Keep Inside. The film, a project of Dr. Rose Perez, a professor of social work at Fordham University, is a film adaption of her academic dissertation, which applies ambiguous loss theory to the loss of homeland by using Cuba expatriates as a subject. The film involves several emotive interviews with different generations of Cuban immigrants, while combining some backstory on the Cuban Revolution with psychological analysis.

Cuba es Mi Pátria screened at film festivals including the Hispanic International Film Festival, Hispanic Heritage Film Festival, Katra Latinx Film Festival, New Jersey Independent Film Festival, New York Lift Off Film Festival, Rutherford Film Festival, Fencesitter Film Festival, Tokyo Film and Screenplay Awards, Believe Psychology Film Festival and more. The film won the Best Original Story award in the Touch Stone Independent Film Festival and the Best Human Rights Documentary award at New York True Venture Film Festival.
