Dear IF readers,

I have a friend, his name is Francisco Aliwalas. I have known him almost as long as my husband, shy of a week. I say that because when my husband John was courting me, he took me on one of our first dates to see a film Francisco had worked on in Albany, New York. Francisco is one of a kind, truly. His heart is as lovely as his film work. Francisco is kind but he is anything but dull. I have never met someone as polite with his high energy. Normally this type of energy is wild and intrusive, but Francisco is effervescent and gentle all in one gesture. Francisco’s filmwork is captured by his eye and his character. I am so happy to introduce him to my readers and to link his recent work on Current TV in which three pieces are on Africa, “Milk, Meat and Blood” (of the Maasai), “Safari Wonder Boy” (the Serenghetti), and “Lady Lion in Tanzania”. Please enjoy Francisco and his work, I am honored to know him and his work, I hope you are too.
