“The SHP Project” is a story about the power of friendship, brotherhood, love and redemption. It’s a story about dance, life, passion, soul and the difference between simply being alive and truly living. Two childhood friends, Victor and Machito, once regarded as the cities best salsa dancers are separated after the death of Victor’s father. Years later while working as a banker in Dubai, Victor returns to NY. Although there for work, he is reunited with his past and joins his childhood friends in an effort to save the neighborhood they both grew up in – Spanish Harlem.
In the full length version there will be lots of dancing and an actual event called “Represente”, where the best dancers from each city represent their city in a global dance competition. Although this will certainly showcase lots of dancing the way we all experience today, “The SHP Project” is still a story focusing on the journey of the lead characters. This film will be in theaters worldwide at the end of the year.
Please leave comments, feedback, thoughts on the short film “MANO” and the upcoming full length feature film “The Spanish Harlem Project”, starring some of Hollywood’s biggest named talents. MANO is only a 24minute short film and is separate from the “The Spanish Harlem Project.

i WISH SHE had lived longer. I would like to see her start painting. and paint what she thought of herself and how she came across. I would have liked to see her grow old and do some serious acting or possibly exceed in a TV series ie Golden Girls. I would have liked to see her grow old and live accepting herself more at peace in simpler things in life and take from life more than what she was seeing. I would like to have her had children and focus on them and enjoy life as a child through them and with maturity and peace of mind She was a gift as we All are but she was like A Candle in teh Wind out too soon. Many wonderful people die too soon, .. Sigh. She used herself as a paint brush. Did she use teh photographers or did they use her. She prob had the immediate gratication but they got the copyrights and $. I wish I could have taken her to some place fun and thoughfful.. walk in teh olympic peninsula and let her take the pictures
