The Border Arts Workshop keeps being a source of inspiration. Another member is gracing our vida with his knowledge.
Producer/Director Isaac Artenstein is lecturing to our Media Arts Santa Ana MILPA (Millennial Producers Academy) today.
Isaac is an award-winning producer who’s first feature film “Break of Dawn” was about Mexican-American radio trailblazer, Pedro J. Gonzalez. He went on to do a ton of documentaries, tv series, and the camp indie hit “A Day Without A Mexican.”
Isaac also used to run a legendary micro-cinema and cultural cafe, the Cafe Cinema in San Diego. They used to screen my art videos in the mid-90’s and it’s where I first met my husband, Victor Payan.
It’s fun to see how this friendship has come full circle. Payan and I have a media non-profit in Orange County and we’re presenting Isaac, our longtime production mentor to our students. Artenstein’s lecture will cover the Business and Art of Producing.
