[ Director’s Statement ]
I traveled to the Brazilian Amazon on several occasions between 1987-1990 to assist on
television documentaries. During my journeys, I had the opportunity to visit many Indig-
enous communities, always with my camera by my side. What caught my eye were the
children. Born to parents who had relied on the rainforest for their survival, these children
were growing up surrounded by new ways—ways that were destroying the forest.
I was also drawn to the child...

The movie's gonna make a kind of conversation with Sean Penn. It's not
a tribute to him. It's about a creative absent soul, who's gonna find a friend
, a half of his lost soul , through an odyssey. ( Jose Alvarez )
You can tell this "Docu-mind " !
Neither native nor naive, the movie wants to be a modern syntax, a symbolic combination of the strange pictures could be interpret personally by the spectators, at the age of globalization. ( Jean claude Serra)
"Sean Penn's Puzzle" is not a plain docudrama. It should be seen many times to understand completely. The film is challenging our looking style to
story-telling, plot, and classical portrait of actors,etc.
It's very exotic and ofcourse a tribute to Sean penn. ( Edward Mckee)
One wouldn't expect a harmless sock-puppet snake to challenge the stormy topic of circumcision in the world's holiest city, Jerusalem. But that's just what happens in the hilarious short film, "Sneaky Snake: Lost In The Holy Land."
The six-minute film's germination began in a cab ride after filmmakers and piano bar entertainers George Sanders and Shawn Curran toured Jerusalem. "We'd never been to Israel, and Jerusalem was mind-blowing," says Sanders. "We...

25 Teens go on the road for the adventure of a lifetime when they ride their bicycles 3800 miles across America to explore the country and to create awareness for a fatal disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
The summer in upstate New York is as nice as any place in the World. We call them August Nights. The day's at the track are usually hot and humid. The nights go down in the low 70's and high 60's. It is a nice time of the year. The Polo matches are exciting and well run by Jim Rossi and Mike Bucci. I'm still waiting for their mystery Hotel to be built, but I like them both. When I show up at polo, I am treated as a gentleman. The food is always good and the Staff is wonderful. I like Polo an...
It was the fall of 1975 and I was a little sick of running around for Mr. Lansky.
He had forgiven me for having him set down by the Commission for trying to get me to kill Ex-President Nixon but if I was not protecteted by my friend in Chicago, I might have had to make other arrangements for Meyer. Meyer and my father had been friends, but I always remembered what happened to Meyer Lansky's best friend Benny Segal!
So I always looked for a change, but there was never one change aga...
