NELSON de Witt / ROBERTO Coto
Separated from my family during El Salvador's civil war, by death and adoption, I was reunited with them at the age of 16. I do entrepreneurial art projects that are meaningful, relevant, and push me creatively.

Identifying Nelson / Buscando a Roberto
- A documentary about me and a group of around three hundred people who have been found after disappearing as children during the Civil War in El Salvador. It is a story about a search for identity set across a landscape that obscures the truth of wounds still open a generation after one of the bloodiest armed conflicts of the Cold War.Initially launched as a Kickstarter project our film while still in development has been getting a lot of positive attention. We are looking forward to releasing part of the film online in the coming months.

YOU are not a failure
- A book about letting go of the things eating us up inside.
To fail is to be human and to feel the pain of failure is to be alive. Only by letting go of the pain are we able to take pride in our efforts, even if they do not result in the outcome we are hoping for.
In this book are some of my failures. I’m sharing them because I want you to know that we all struggle, that this is part of life, and to say... you are not a failure.

A Kickstarter's Guide to Kickstarter
- How to successfully launch a creative project online.I have used Kickstarter to launch two successful but very different projects.The first one ran in the fall of 2010 and was called Identifying Nelson/Buscando a Roberto. The purpose of the campaign was to help raise some money so my co-producer John Younger, and I could start working on a documentary film.The second project was to create an e-book called A Kickstarter’s Guide to Kickstarter. That campaign took place during August of 2011. You can grab a copy of the book at:
