Superbowl 52 was a historic one for Philadelphia. I hope that this film can capture just a small part of that passion that has been flying around Philadelphia for the weeks following. 
This was a special Eagles team who embraced the underdog spirit that has always been a part of Philadelphia (ever seen Rocky?) It make the city come alive and vibrate with energy. Basically everyone was having a great time. I wanted to make this as a reminder of that week of the super bowl glow.

In 2015, residents of Kensington came together to tell the story of their community through poetry. Through a series of public workshops taught by Motivos ( motivosmag.com). People were encouraged to explore what they loved about their neighborhood and what they want to change.
NKCDC commissioned this film as a way to mark the launch of their North of Lehigh Neighborhood Plan and to document the neighborhood in its current state.
This Kensington community North of Lehigh is a community full of possibility, yet confronted with intimidating problems. It is a poster-child for the problems that face North Philadelphia but also an intimate community of residents who have rolled up their sleeves to tackle the challenges that impact their lives
builds upon the strengths of the community and calls for continued collaborative action to transform a neighborhood beset with vacancy to a community that, in the words of residents, will become a joyful and inviting green oasis that fosters innovation creating jobs and inspires the rest of Philadelphia to follow suit.

During a paper conservation treatment, the Barnes Foundation discovered two unfinished sketches—one graphite and one watercolor— on the reverse sides of two watercolors by Cézanne, which depict the landscape of southern France: The Chaine de l'Etoile Mountains (BF650) and Trees (BF655), normally on view in room 20 of the Collection Gallery.
The discovery marks the first time these sketches have been seen since at least the early 20th century, most likely prior to Dr. Albert Barnes’s purchase of the works from Leo Stein in 1921.These sketches provide a glimpse behind Cézanne’s artistic process and their discovery highlights the importance of conservation efforts and dedicated collection stewardship.
To allow students and visitors the opportunity to view these sketches, they were displayed in double-sided frames, with both sides visible, from April 10 through May 18, 2015 in the second floor classroom of the Barnes Foundation. Following their display to the public, the watercolors were returned to their original locations.
