Bosnian War Posters was published by Interlink Books in May 2022. It is distributed by Simon & Schuster. More here.

Film Step by Step: Methodology of Self-Awareness, by Carolina Rivas, was published in Barcelona in 2020. I edited and redesigned this Spanish-language cinema book, which was originally published in Mexico in 2010.
I have written for a variety of print and online publications, including Eye magazine, London, and Proceso, Mexico City.

Film Editor
I have been editing and sound-designing films since the 1980s—first on celluloid and digitally since the mid-1990s. Today I mainly work in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition, but I also have working knowledge of Avid, Final Cut Pro, Lightworks and Protools.
