Uruguay! 🇺🇾

I’m excited to announce the International Premiere of “You Were Never Really Here in Uruguay at the Cine del Mar Film Festival!

Thank you @festivalespde !

Our film is playing tomorrow as a part of the shorts block!

‘You Were Never Really Here’ is part of the WEG Short Film Lab commissioned by @wegfilms and @asfifilms.

The WEG Short Film Lab provided $70k in funds to local filmmakers in South Florida thanks to the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation (@knightfdn). Short films from the program have gone to screen at @tribeca, @leedsfilmfest and more.

✨New Poster Drop✨

I’m so excited to share that our film “You Were Never Really Here” is coming home to play at the @miamifilm in just a few days, and will also be playing at the @mkefilm in April!

I’m still in disbelief about the amazing journey this film has been and the journey its taken. From a mere idea 4 years ago, to actually making it and now finally be sharing it around the country is truly a dream come true.

Miami, I’m so ready to bring this film home and share my story with you 🫶🏻

And, if you happen to be in Milwaukee in April, don’t miss the chance to catch the film and share your thoughts! ♥️

✨I am thrilled and honored to announce that our little short film “You Were Never Really Here” has been selected to have its World Premiere at@slamdancegroup 🏔️💫

This journey was a 3-year long process that demanded not only passion and dedication but also a whole lot of resilience. It’s been a process that tested my limits, filled with sleepless nights, doubts, and moments of sheer vulnerability.

This project is a piece of my heart. A sincere and vulnerable exploration of the trauma I was carrying, detailing a search for healing.

I’m excited to share this news with the world, but I’m especially excited to share this milestone with my favorite people in the world @wegfilms. I’m the person and artist that I am because of all these people who surround me and inspire me every day.

A deep, heartfelt thank you to the incredible cast and crew who joined me on this rollercoaster. You have helped turn this dream into a reality. I am beyond grateful for each of you.
