If Ricardo were a name-dropper (he isn't), he might mention Stanford University where he earned a Master's Degree on a scholarship from Apple Computer. Or the Fortune 500 clients he served as CEO of Sapphire Design Systems out of Palo Alto, California. He might bring up the major conferences at which he's been a featured speaker, or the numerous technology articles he's published, with prominence in such magazines as Machine Design and MacWorld.

But Ricardo would, by far, rather discuss his work after he switched careers and became a filmmaker, starting CineAttico Films with his wife, Vivian, in 2006.

His first film, Mazal Tov: What You Didn't Know About Jewish Marriage has been downloaded over 75,000 times over the Internet and screened throughout Latin America.

However, his most important effort to date is The Lost Key, a very personal story, seven years in the making, which presents an alternative approach to sexuality for all couples based on ancient Jewish teachings. The Lost Key is Ricardo's debut as Director and it promises to significantly raise the profile of this talented filmmaker.
