Director Statement

Growing up within a Latinx household, I continuously found myself victim to certain cultural dynamics that I've come to realize divide us a people rather than bring us together. Because of that, I was inspired to tell a story of the potential harm that's done when we fail to recognize those practices. Cultural beliefs surrounding sexual identity and toxic masculinity are at the forefront of this film, two concepts that I believe are most relevant in today's current social climate.

Although told from the perspective of parents navigating the complexities of their son's sexuality, this films tragedy will undoubtable lead anyone to value time; specifically the time we have to say or do the things that might make a difference.
