I’ve been working on a new Cuban documentary project together with my friend director/writer Diana Ivanova. The working title is SIN PALABRAS (Without Words) . It will look into issues like race and equality as we follow several Afro-Cuban artists while the island transitions into a new phase.
We are off to Cuba on 15 Dec, researchng and shooting together with cinematographers Dafne Capella and Roni Maltz, but before we go I am going to ask for a big favor. We want to bring small pieces of equipment and donate them to some of the artists, so if you have some of these cluttering your home and still in good condition, please consider giving away:
PHONES: iPhones, Samsung, HTC, Blackberry, any version of a ‘smart’ phone that has internet capabilities
DIGITAL STILL CAMERAS: all types
DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERAS: small size flip-cam style or other
USB DRIVES: I know you guys have everything “up in the cloud” now but these thumbdrives are very precious when there is limited internet and few personal computers
TABLETS and MP3 players
