My goal is to release this documentary in 2021 or 2022.

This documentary was my first film, in which I idealized, directed, scripted, pre edited, translated, added subtitles and signed up to festivals all over the world this is the third festival in which it will be screened. It is a zero budget film, is pretty simple in terms of art, photography and production, but what really matters is what is said in the film. This film was inspired in my long term friend Andreia Laís Cantelli, who is one of the women that I Interviewed, she introduced me to Rafaelly Wiest. I admire both of them so much.

Exploring glass beach, on the California coast. Once a dump site for thousands of pounds of trash, it is now a major tourist attraction only a couple of hours north of San Francisco. Written, directed, shot, & edited by moi. Shot on a Nikon D7500. FULL TEXT: Glass beach, tucked away along highway 1 in Fort Bragg California, was the dumping ground for refuse from a nearby glass factory until the late sixties. The beach & surrounding coastline are dotted with the rusted & hollowed out remains of mid twentieth century American industry. Thousands of pounds of trash, largely glass & ceramic, were dumped onto the coast & swallowed up by the pacific ocean, only to be reborn decades later as contemporary beach treasures. Collecting the glass is prohibited, but between the tens of thousands of tourists who visit the site each year & the pounding waves, the beach’s famed sea glass is dwindling in supply.
