Hello!
My name is Shane Palma and I am a social/digital media content creator with a background in video producing, photo/video editing, and photography.
¡Que Linda Es Mi Vida!
Pop-Pop has long been the heartbeat of the filmmaker’s family. After escaping Colombia during a violent Civil War, he had no choice but to chase an American dream. Pop-Pop learned English, joined the Army, started a business — and buried the past. He lost his family name but held onto his smile as he built a new identity. ¡Que Linda Es Mi Vida! explores the joyful, imaginative and poignant presence of Jairo “Pop-Pop” Palma through endearing vignettes and his grandson’s reflections.
After premiering at the Stronger Than Fiction film festival, you can now stream my documentary HERE
