Alpaca Tejido Project (Untitled, Currently In-Production, tentative completion date Fall 2012)
-Follows the unique Alpaca Fiber Fashion Industry in Peru. The film traces the production chain from the shearing of individual Alpaca high in the Andes Mountains, to small, remote workshops where indigenous/migrant Andean weavers knit the garments, to high-fashion runways in Lima where the garments are presented and sold to exporters. The film looks at the social cost and impact of this growing industry.
