Closing out 2025 with gratitude.
This year was about rebuilding, refocusing, and putting real work behind the scenes, including the relaunch of ACEFilms.com and setting the foundation for what’s next.
Thank you to my family, friends, and supporters who showed up along the way. I’m heading into 2026 with clarity and momentum.

I’m deeply saddened by the loss of Robert Redford. For more than 24 years Sundance has been part of my life. He created more than a festival or an institute. He created a home for stories outside the mainstream. He reminded us that independence, risk, artistry matter. Thank you for the space you opened, the voices you lifted, and the way you changed cinema forever. Rest in power.
