Private Project

Real Pretty Song

Pete (Pedro C. Hernandez Jr.) is an overindulgent and socially awkward lay-mechanic in his late-30s who lives and works in South-East Los Angeles. He spends his spare time working on his 1957 Chevy and hanging out with his friend and co-worker, Edsel (Carlo Chavez). Things change for Pete when he falls for Edsel’s teenaged cousin, Ina (Aisha Tritle). As Pete’s attraction to Ina grows, he makes a series of peculiar decisions that reveal his loneliness, angst and questionable sexual proclivities.
