Director Statement

I am a Latin immigrant, single mother, with no budget for a big production but with my heart full of dreams. With my more than 20 years of experience in storytelling for TV, I packed all my hope in a bag and I fully created this short, from the camera and light, to the audio, script, production and editing. It is a humble first time try in which I asked production collaboration from friends and colleagues.
