Director Statement

This is a re-release from the original Elf Boy Series (2016) which is now updated into a short film. More down to earth and wholesome vibes. I made this in collaboration with Freddy Jimenez. I now realize this short film marked a transition in my life (at the time) as the final project before I moved away for college. I was very nervous and afraid of what life would bring. In a way, this film is a reflection of that time.
