Floating Stone Productions

I started Floating Stone Productions in 2001, after 9/11, with the idea that life is too short to be doing something you don’t enjoy if you don’t absolutely have to do it. I quit a dead-end production job and started working on my first film, The Collector: Allan Stone’s Life in Art. I had been wanting to make a film about my father and his love for and obsession with art for many years, and quickly began raising money and shooting my first interviews. Of course, it took longer than I ever anticipated to finish the film, but over the course of six years (with a job and two babies in between), I have definitely experienced the highs and also the myriad hassles of independent filmmaking. My current project, "The Cardboard Bernini," is in production. Click here to read all about it.
