Back in the States

We returned back to the US a few days ago from our second trip to Nicaragua. Talk about climate shock, we went from 85 degree temperatures in Nicaragua in the morning, to 10 degrees and 2+ feet of snow back in Connecticut. The trip went very well, we shot hours and hours of footage. As much as we hated leaving Nicaragua we are both very excited to be back and start the real work. Now we begin the process of getting all of our latest interviews translated and starting to piece it all together. Stay tuned for us to post pictures and screen shots.

Shooting Update

Our second trip to Nicaragua filming this documentary is rapidly coming to an end. This trip has proven to be an amazing learning experience on many different levels. We have met many new people and heard some pretty amazing stories. We are hopeful that we will be able to make their stories come to life and gain the equality and respect they deserve because of this project. Tomorrow is our last day of filming for this trip and we are expecting big things. We will be meeting with the mayor of Leon, Nicaragua to talk about the different laws concerning ramps and other ways of making Nicaragua more universally accessible. Stay tuned for more updates once we return to the US.

"On The Road Again"


We are leaving in only a few hours for our second trip to Nicaragua for this project. Both of us are very excited to build on what we began in October.  We will be in Nicaragua filming for 10 days, conducting interviews with numerous different people of interest. We are hoping that it will be a very advantageous trip and we will return with a wealth of information and footage for “A Road Unpaved.” We return on January 13th, stay tuned for updates upon our return.
