The idea for Emotivo Productions came out of an earlier project by the company’s founder, Juan Luis Lopez Fons. The project was called “Albany My Albany,” consisted of an anthology of six short films called that Juan Luis directed, shot and edited. “Soul of Wood” was one of those short films.

The “Albany my Albany” shorts showcase established and up-and-coming artists from New York’s Capital Region, including a dancer, a singer, a jewelry maker, a comedian, a sculptor that works with wood and a performance artist.

After filming and editing the series of shorts, Juan Luis founded Emotivo Productions. More information about Emotivo is available at emotivoproductions.com.
