Special Thanks To…

Felipe & Claudia Corrales

Thank you Felipe and Claudia for being my assistants for the first five days in Puerto Rico and assisting me in the interview with Samuel Gonzales at Fondos Unidos, and driving me to Arecibo to film the installations of solar panels.

Karen Zorrilla & Frank Perez

Thank you Karen (also known as Mama), and Frank for assisting me the last three days in Puerto Rico, such as being camera operator for the second camera in the interviews in Utuado, El Yunque, and with Fundacion Comuntaria. And thank you for believing in me and supporting me in my first major project that I organized on my own.

Frank Perez Sr. & Dalia Landron

Thank you Don Frank and Doña Daila for providing me food and a place to stay, and driving me around the island to get me to my interviews, as well as connecting me with the Mayor of Vega Alta, Puerto Rico.

Sahid Perez

Thank you Sahid for being the best tour guide and personalizing the tours to my needs for this project. Thank you for driving me around the island to get the best b-roll shots and for finding me Samuel Lind and Basilio and Blachy in El Yunque to interview. And thank you to your colleague, Alex, who drove us up the mountain in Utuado to get to an interview, and for sharing photos from the hurricane for this documentary.
