i’m not proud to admit this but it took me three years to finish this short film because it was a mirror to some of the most heartbreaking conversations i have had with my family. but i am proud to say, today we just locked picture and are finally going to sound. then festivals ! after three years, i’ve had a lot of time to live and come to understand more than ever the pressure my parents feel and how they show their love for me. in the same ways i have learned the pressure i have put myself under the guise of the “american dream”. ironically enough, i had spent three years working endlessly in music videos and commercials in school, never taking a break. i had suffered some major health scares because of the pressure and stress i was putting myself under but i didn’t care because i was directing. and what if one day they stop calling ? but that’s a load of bullshit and i’m glad i took these months off to realize that i got into doing all that so i could afford the time to make films that make me grow, think and feel. i don’t regret anything because i love my job and the people i work with. but i’m tired of putting off narrative. anyways, for now enjoy a segment of the gorgeous score from the film, recorded by live strings, by my composer and lifelong collaborator @fernandofurones shooting a new film in sept and can’t wait to show you all that one too. ❤️
