Manhattan, here I come
Remembering New York, imagining New York

A beautiful voice (to Roger Ebert)

I had never heard of the place, though the prospect of it being en route to beautiful Jose Ignacio and in the middle of the country sounded very appealing.
Couchsurfing & filmmaking: In Finland with Tanja´s family
Meet the delightful Tanja and the family that hosted us during the shooting of our film in beautiful summertime Finland for a true Finnish experience.

Lehmonkärki, Finland. Paradise at the end of the world
The most magical place I stayed in Finland during the shooting of my film was Lehmonkärki.
