In this BTS segment for "The Super", I talk about how I've recently started making 1-2 short films per month.

You've probably seen many of them posted in my stories or on my YouTube channel.

This was a huge help when tackling a more complex project like "The Super".

Had a great time @crimsonscreen horror film fest this weekend! I've never seen so many great horror shorts and features in one place.

This festival is really special and run with a lot of love. I'm looking forward to coming back with another film.

I'm honored and greatful to share that I was a part of the 2025 cohort of the @holamexicoff
"Tomorrow's Filmmakers Today" program.

Upon entering the program I felt the weight of imposter syndrome. I couldn't believe I was selected. But from the first day I felt so welcomed and supported by this amazing community.

Throughout the week we watched dozens of films, had many insightful talks with industry professionals, and made friends that will last a lifetime.

It always feels like a dream to see my films on the big screen but this time was truly special because of the incredibly talented people around me.

Thank you to my TFT family. I'll see you soon!

Tried to go easy on the kick but still managed to hit her hand a bit too much. Cut! Sorry Mini! 😭💔
