In 2010, I was approached by Academy Award-nominated Producer Marc Smolowitz to handle all aspects of post-production for his documentary feature, “The Power of Two.” The film chronicles the lives of half-Japanese twin sisters Anabel Stenzel and Isabel Stenzel Byrnes, their battle with the fatal genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF) and miraculous survival through double lung transplants. My compaby Relevant Pictures carved the 94-minute documentary out 17 TB's of footage from a variety of sources, including HD video, VHS, 16mm, Super-8, photos, and journal entries. On top of it all, nearly half of the footage was in Japanese. We opened up our office to the film’s team and after seven months of work, we locked picture. In 2011, The Power of Two had its World Premiere at Docuweeks, with weeklong screenings in New York and Los Angeles, and was most recently accepted into the Tokyo International Film Festival.
