SHORT FILMS
THE FASHION LIBRARY was a benefit I put together for the English Language Library of Guanajuato in the Spring of 2023, featuring the work of five young Guanajuato designers, a couple dozen local models, and the leading local hiphop group, Kuarto del Panico, recommended to us by our city's big star, Santa Fe Klan. The benefit runway show was put on in the legendary nightclub La Dama de las Camelias. I shot the event with several camerapeople.
CARTEL ROY was a collaborative project with my directing partner Eduardo Padilla, a poet and screenwriter. The idea started as a lark: the creation of a character who wants to be bad-ass but is unable to live up to his cinema-fueled dreams. He finds himself cowed by his lady friend, who also soothes him. The short film is to be one of a series of similar pieces involving Cartel Roy. For festival laurels see our next page...
