SANCTUARY'S DAUGHTER is the story of 17-year-old Anabella, a US citizen, and her mother Yolanda, an undocumented Guatemalan immigrant. When Yolanda receives a final deportation order, she and Anabella face a terrifying choice--and make an inspired decision to seek safety in perhaps the only place where immigration authorities dare not arrest them. Going public with their story, they fight a courageous battle to bring attention to the millions of 'mixed' American families -- those that include both American citizens, and undocumented immigrants. Over four years, Anabella grows from a shy, withdrawn teenager to a confident woman, willing to travel alone to Washington DC, to seek answers for her mother's immigration struggle. SANCTUARY'S DAUGHTER is about faith, hope, and a young woman's coming of age.

Claude & Claudette is a reflection about life and death through the story of a couple whose life takes a turn as a husband gets diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The documentary, filmed over a period of four years, takes us through the evolution of this terrible disease through an intimate story of a family. Although it testifies with lucidity of the cruel reality of those affected by Alzheimer's disease, C & C comes out as ode to life through humorous portrayals of aging. This independent movie takes a look at an issue that most of us face sooner or later in life: how shall we take care of our loved ones once they are no longer able to take care of themselves?
