Director Bio

Frank Barrera

Frank Barrera is a NYC-based cinematographer who will shoot just about anything for food. Recent work includes episodes of WNYC's Cool in Your Code; Discovery Channel's B Smith with Style and a music video for the reggae artist Empire Isis. He was also
the Director of Photography for Tim McCann's narrative feature Runaway (Tribeca Film Festival 2005).



As director, Frank began production on the documentary None of the Above back in 1998. It is
the story of Puerto Rico's epic struggle for self determination. For three years, the production found itself based in Tucson, Arizona, where Frank was living
with his wife Sarah. It was here that he became associated with the avante gard talents of Pan Left. Together they worked to develop the structure of this very large story. However, NYC was calling Frank and he answered by returning to his native city back in 2003.


As None of the Above enters its final phase of production Frank will continue to turn to Pan Left for the kind of support that can only come from a bunch of
wild-eyed desert filmmakers.
