Filming in Miami last week

We had a great shoot last week in Miami!   Thank you so much to the Alvarez family for their patience during in the last 3 years, and being so gracious in sharing their story about our grandfather, Francisco (Panchito) Alvarez.  We got a couple more interviews, as well as some "Cuban flavor" (aka, dominoes playing). 

Thank you also to David Tunon and his family, for traveling all of the way from Orlando, and letting us film their meeting with Cuban-exile pilot Juan Peron.  David lost his dad in the Congo in 1965, and in the past year has started to finally put the pieces together about his father's plane crash so many years ago (mostly through Juan Peron's first-person account, since he was one of the last people to see David's father alive).  Thanks also to Cuban-exile pilot Reginaldo Blanco who allowed us to film his meeting with my father about his experience during the Stanleyville Operation in 1964 in the Congo.


Lastly, thanks to a great crew: Amanda Spain (Producer) and Eve Cohen
(Director of Photography)
