Private Project

La cara estúpida del ritmo

We enter into the lonely rituals of a traveler who's embarking on a journey toward trance-like states of mind. Set against the slow-burning serenades of Adrián deAlfonso, the imagery evokes an awakening, delusions of grandeur, and the timeless yearnings of the soul.

Director Statement

I think of my work as Future Lofi.

It exists in the collision between rap videos and the cinema of everyday life: drifting through remix culture, long walks and social practice.

I love the idea of making films where our attention can wander away from the image and into the space of listening. Instead of elevating what we see, the audio can anchor the visuals.

On the surface, I want something alluring, something that draws you in like a good hook or a warm fireplace: rivers of smooth, astral minimalism carrying you into another world.
