We turned that exhibit into a donation drive. People came and donated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">At this point Jacobs-Fantauzzi had successfully raised money for victims, but he felt he could do more, so he started a campaign collect donated supplies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI also opened up my house to drop supplies off and I gathered 36 boxes full of solar lights, batteries, foods, snacks, water filters and everything you could imagine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39864\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39864\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DefendPR-1-CMYK_WEB.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-39864\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DefendPR-1-CMYK_WEB.jpg?resize=450%2C630&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DefendPR-1-CMYK_WEB.jpg?w=986&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 986w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DefendPR-1-CMYK_WEB.jpg?resize=600%2C840&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DefendPR-1-CMYK_WEB.jpg?resize=179%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 179w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DefendPR-1-CMYK_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C1075&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DefendPR-1-CMYK_WEB.jpg?resize=343%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 343w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39864\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Filmmaker Eli Jacob-Fantauzzi poses for a portrait before displaying his latest multimedia projects, which include \u201cBokoso,\u201d \u201cDefend Puerto Rico,\u201d and \u201cTengo Talento,\u201d at the Apple store in San Francisco\u2019s Union Square, Feb.6, 2019. Photo: George Barahona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">After making his house a location for locals to help the victims of Hurricane Irma, Jacobs-Fantauzzi was inclined to keep helping Puertorrique\u00f1os affected by the hurricane. Then Hurricane Maria hit, which was even more destructive than Irma, claiming more than 2,975 lives, according to BBC, and leaving 1.4 million customers without power for 11 months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cAt first they told me not to come, because I would\u2019ve been another mouth to feed,\u201d he said. \u201cAfter I [finally] got the green light, I went with a group of journalists. We waited a few weeks because we didn\u2019t want to use their gas and be part of the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Jacobs-Fantauzzi had planned to return to the Bay Area to attend the 10th anniversary of the \u201cLife is Living Festival\u201d in Oakland in October 2017, but something told him to return to the island.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cWhen I landed at JFK Airport, I got a text about the festival being canceled due to the Northern California fires,\u201d he said. \u201cI took that as a sign and took a plane back to Puerto Rico, and I\u2019ve been living there ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">While spending his time helping others in need, Jacobs-Fantauzzi saw the effects of Puerto Rico\u2019s crisis within his own family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI experienced it firsthand,\u201d he said. \u201cMy tia and tio are elders and they needed their medication from the refrigerator and they could\u2019t [get it]. And this is a reason why there was a huge amount of people leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Jacobs-Fantauzzi also spoke about the lack of support people were getting from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the islanders who were placed in the mainland until the situation in Puerto Rico was better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cIt was also because FEMA said, \u2018We will put you up in a hotel if you leave the island but we won\u2019t necessarily pay for your housing.\u2019 So people left the island then got kicked out of the hotel after the time was up so many people had to stay in the states and start life out of the island,\u201d he said. \u201cWith this happening, people\u2019s houses were abandoned and corporations came in and try to buy the seaside views and try to make Puerto Rico like Hawaii.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Jacobs-Fantauzzi said he was excited to showcase the work he had been doing to audiences in the Bay Area, especially having a platform like Apple.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cTonight is about being able to share these stories and uplift the stories in the people in Puerto Rico. That\u2019s what the project is about in photography and video,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is my first time at an Apple store, I\u2019ll be showing my \u2018Defend Puerto Rico\u2019 work but I\u2019m also going to be showing<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>some of my other projects to show the bigger story: Cuba.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Jacobs-Fantauzzi started his presentation by sharing a trailer of his film \u201cBakos\u00f3,\u201d which was filmed in Cuba. The main idea of \u201cBakos\u00f3\u201d is celebrating Cuba\u2019s African roots and Afro-Latino culture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">After the \u201cBakos\u00f3\u201d trailer, Jacobs-Fantauzzi showed parts of his film \u201cTengo Talento,\u201d which focuses on<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Afro Cuban Folkloric and Ballet teacher, Jennyselt Galata and her mission to find a successor and keep the tradition of Afro Cuban Folkloric dancing alive by teaching dance to young children. He emphasized Afro-Latino culture in this film because in his eyes, Afro-Latino culture is undercovered by mass media and in pop culture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Lastly, he screened \u201cRebuild Comer\u00edo,\u201d a video showing how people from Puerto Rico gathered to help rebuild a part of the island that was heavily impacted by Maria. For this video, Fantauzzi said that he crowdfunded money to open up popup kitchens for locals in the Puerto Rican town of Comer\u00edo, which was devastated by Hurricane Maria.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI\u2019m of the belief that you have to find out what you\u2019re passionate about in life and use that to help people, like writing in the newspaper or me doing films or telling stories, we have to use that to educate people on how to make this world a better place,\u201d Jacobs-Fantauzzi said. \u201cThat\u2019s our responsibility, and so all of us in the collective \u2018Defend Puerto Rico,\u2019 that\u2019s what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cAnd how do we change what\u2019s currently happening?\u201d he asked. \u201cOne: information, and two: telling it in a way that people want to do something about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Eli Jacobs-Fantauzzi\u2019s film \u201cBakos\u00f3\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>premiered at the Pan African Film &amp; Arts fest in Los Angeles.
