Freddie of Wynwood is a short film based on a
true story that took place
in Wynwood, a Miami neighborhood that has transitioned from being one of the roughest to one of the
most up and coming. The affluent and trendy come to Wynwood to enjoy the massive art murals,
galleries, and restaurants. At the same time, many streets and empty lots are where most of Miami’s
homeless still live.
Freddie of Wynwood explores this dichotomy and makes us reevaluate how we see others. It exemplifies
how stereotypes and appearances are often inaccurate. It is also a story about the joy and
connection that comes from a simple act of kindness.
Freddie of Wynwood was featured at the Miami Film Festival, aired nationally on PBS, and is
currently available on Amazon Prime.
In the desperate act
to save a young boy’s life, a doctor helps
facilitate an illegal organ donation from a third world country and is then haunted by its
implications. This film brings awareness to the harrowing issue, and anguish inducing stress, of
waiting for a kidney.
Salvador is a compelling story of a Doctor torn between saving her dying patient’s life by acquiring
a black-market kidney, or losing him because of the lack of legal organs available to medical
institutions. Salvador questions the boundaries of medical ethics and illegal organ trafficking.
There are currently 114,000 people in the U.S. waiting for an organ transplant to save their lives.
We witness the aftermath of yet another school
shooting through the eyes
of Dr. Gomez, a Latina surgeon who works at a local hospital in Clearhill, Florida. Dramatic life
events thrust her into an unfathomable situation where she suffers a devastating personal loss at the
hands of a student possessed by racial hatred. She must choose between succumbing to overwhelming
rage or staying faithful to the Hippocratic oath she has sworn.
Swear by Apollo depicts the severity of our current racial climate. We journey into the internal
worlds, and lay witness to the hatred and deluded beliefs that can drive someone to commit atrocious
acts of violence.
Real Wonder Women / Directed by Debora de Sola Habsburg
Explores the lives
of three extraordinary immigrant women living in Miami who rise above their fate and inspire us
through their courage and resilience in supporting children with disabilities and illness. This
documentary is a testimony to women’s courage empathy and the resilience required to support
children with disabilities or illnesses.
Following the completion and positive reception of the Documentary feature of the same title we
decided to use Real Wonder Women as a template for the creation of an episodic version in the form
of a Docu-Series around the same idea of porting ordinary women in extraordinary situations that
other women can relate to and get inspiration from. Each Episode would feature different themes and
different inspiring women from everywhere around the globe. We are currently looking for a network
or platform that would like to develop this concept with us.
