I had the pleasure of meeting some of the future leaders in sustainability at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) on Earth Day. These inspiring students are committed to climate justice, and I was honored to be invited by Associate Professor Robert Amundsen, Ph.D. (pictured) to share my expertise.
Through my production companies, Angel Light Communications and The Saillant Company, I'm dedicated to empowering filmmakers to create eco-conscious productions. Together, we can make a positive impact on the environment.

Great news!!!!
Ludwig Göransson secures the Best Original Score - Motion Picture honor for "Oppenheimer" at the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards.

Delighted to highlight that on two tracks, "Trinity" and "Something More Important," additional music was crafted by American composer Thomas Kotcheff in collaboration with Göransson. Thomas Kotcheff, the son of the renowned filmmaker Ted Kotcheff (my long-time friend and mentor), continues his father's legacy—a genuine blessing. Oscars are undoubtedly the next milestone!

Memories of a good friend and colleague.

Claire McCurdy. Claire was a gifted person with a great heart. I miss her very much, a very Special friend and colleague.

RIP Claire.
I remember when she wrote me this after the death of my parents.

"Knowing you has been extraordinary. A great privilege. I hope it is not too late to tell you this.
You are kind. generous. You have a great heart.
You are a dealmaker - or breaker. Master of image. yet oddly humble.

But most of all- you are a man who deeply loves/d his family. Brother, parents, friends.

And they love/d you dearly. Yet you have lost them all.
My heart hurts for you.

Blessings on you. and may God give you peace.
Claire

—-God Bless You Claire and Thank you for being a true friend.
Rest easy.... Love Antonio Saillant

A Call to Action from Antonio Saillant.

As a filmmaker and a former energy consultant, I have witnessed the beauty and the fragility of our planet. I have dedicated my life to being an environmental crusader, fighting for a cause that is bigger than myself. I firmly believe that, “If Humanity Saves our Planet, Our Planet will Save Humanity.” That is why I urge you to join me in this fight, because our planet needs us more than ever. We are facing a global crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. We cannot afford to be complacent or divided. We need to unite as one global community, and demand that our leaders take action to protect our environment and our future.

We have the power to make a difference. We have the power to vote for candidates who care about the environment and hold them accountable. We have the power to speak up for the rights of all living beings on earth, and to live in harmony with nature. We have the power to choose life over death, hope over despair, love over hate.

Choose Life. It’s Simple.
- Antonio Saillant

Stumbled upon some fantastic behind-the-scenes shots of Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay at the end of Season 12. I had the privilege of capturing these moments, courtesy of Antonio Saillant. It was a bittersweet time, as this marked Meloni's final season on SVU. Fond memories from our days on the set of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

In my deepest beliefs, I hold onto the hope that my dear sister, brother, father, and mother now reside in heaven, casting their radiant light upon us all.

I send my heartfelt prayers, beseeching their beautiful spiritual presence to guide us through these challenging moments.

Step by step, we can each weave a positive strand into the intricate tapestry of our 7+ billion human lives, every thread a crucial element that inches us closer to the tipping point of unity and the creation of a sustainable future.

Clean energy serves as one pivotal piece of this grand puzzle, while heart, determination, soul, and ever-evolving action complete the picture.

Wishing you and all the world an abundance of Peace, Love, and Health. 😇

As a self-made individual who values my roots, I maintain strong relationships with both old and new friends, offering support when needed. However, I encounter individuals who solely prioritize themselves. I believe in treating everyone with respect and professionalism, as it could lead to future collaboration. Thus, it's important to avoid making poor business decisions.
