Overlooked
"Overlooked" takes you through five vignettes where death and horror lurk around every bend. Each a tale of tragedy in downtown Vancouver, recounted by a narrator that believes them to be connected by their dereliction.
At its core, "Overlooked" ask you to take a moment to stop and acknowledge just a few of the lives of more than 2000 people living without homes in Vancouver, people you may not notice in your daily commute. Will you notice when there’s a killer about?

Originally from the southern Gulf of Mexico, Carlos moved to Vancouver, BC seven years ago. He is a visual effects professional, and he has worked on over a dozen Hollywood feature films as an animator. Carlos and fellow filmmakers Gerry Wang and Christian Sherden Co-founded Chimera Collective Media as way to collaborate with multiple artists from different fields. The primary purpose of the collective is to bring compelling stories to life through whichever platforms serve them the best.
Homelessness is a real problem in Vancouver, and It seems as if we are all guilty of indifference toward this reality. A simple first step is acknowledgement; this idea is at the heart of “Overlooked”.
