ETERNITY’S SUNRISE, THE LIFE OF CARMEN CICERO
Client: WeTransfer | WePresent
Project: Eternity’s Sunrise: The Life Of Carmen Cicero
Role: Director, Producer, Editor (Branded Documentary)
I pitched, developed, produced, and edited this short branded documentary for WeTransfer’s editorial platform, WePresent. The film tells the story of 93-year-old painter Carmen Cicero, whose enduring optimism has shaped both his life and work. After losing his home and studio in a devastating fire in 1971, Carmen rebuilt everything from the ground up—guided by a deep belief in beauty, resilience, and the power of art.
We crafted an intimate, emotionally resonant portrait that aligns with WeTransfer’s ethos while offering audiences something timeless and human. From concept to final cut, I led the creative process—balancing brand alignment with authentic storytelling.
