Director Statement

It was only after my mothers passing in April of 2021 that I felt completely comfortable in telling our entire story, by then the police couldn't come and arrest her and punish me for harboring a fugitive criminal.

 

See, my mother was a renowned actress on the stage of life! It's not an accident that I followed in her footsteps into the arts, the significant difference is that I've used art as a way to express my creativity and unpack what it means to be human. My mother used her "acting skills" to live a life on her own terms. She was amongst many other things an international con-artist. A woman who gave way more than she took, but she did take a lot. She was called by the thousands she helped, illegally to secure Green Cards la Señora Robinhood. She was responsible for providing for us and our tribe immeasurable opportunities, and creating much mayhem outside our front door. At its core, our story is that of a son and his mother, a story of forgiveness and an eternal bond that not even the American government would be able to break.

 

Mamita, my first short film is one tiny story in the story of our lives, the rest is being developed into a television series. Thanks for reading!
