This summer I'm putting together a documentary dedicated to the Syrian community of Allentown. My hope is to elevate Syrian voices, raise funds for charities dedicated to helping Syrians, and hopefully opening the eyes of non-Syrians. I fear that in crafting this film I risk subconsciously falling into a biased narrative but I hope that I can be objective when the time comes to release.

Some of the amazing people I got to see at #jimthorpeindiefilmfest this past weekend. Those not tagged: Steve Summers (2), Frank Sun (10) I immediately regret this as these guys probably already got notified about the Facebook post. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-WtedFykc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=602kqgm4dbyr

Normally I'd post these sooner but life has been difficult. Nonetheless this past weekend I visited Jim Thorpe for the first time to attend the #jimthorpeindiefilmfest and managed to grab some lovely shots while there. Expect more later on.

I honestly don't have much to say about this trip other than just being amazed by the level of detail everywhere. Well worth a visit, maybe even catch a show if you can afford it. #radiocityrockettes #rockettes #radiocitymusichall #radiocity (at Radio City Music Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwsBfuTl4Jz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sigwe7eurvnz

No matter how hard I tried, I still looked like a tourist taking these. Photos and caption by @chris_jelkh_toro (at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwYKEDzltQm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ieisr61p4grt

On the invitation of a friend who was volunteering I attended the IECPA conference last Friday (sadly was unable to attend the entire night or the next day). The speakers (seen below) who I were able to hear were captivating to say the least and even managed to speak to one before he took stage.

The poster seen in the back reads “Peace be with you”. The same phrase is used by Arab Christians and variations can be found in Christianity and Judaism (Pax Vobis during Liturgy and the Hebrew rendition Shalom Aleichem).
