Excited to share Canta Santiago with the world! I directed and shot this short on 35mm film — a true labor of love. Now streaming on @omeleto link in bio :)

Honored and thrilled to be accepted into the ASC Vision Mentorship Program! 🎥🙌🏽
The ASC represents over 100 years of cinematography that has shaped how we see films, and many of my favorites were shot by DPs in this society. They embody the peak of our craft, pushing boundaries with light, shadow, and story to create timeless images. Grateful for the chance to grow, challenge myself, and keep telling stories through the lens. Always moving forward!

New reel
None of these shots would exist without the talented artists and amazing people I’ve had the chance to collaborate with. Grateful to keep creating :)
Here’s to more stories, more frames, and more magic ahead. 🎥🙌🏽✨

#Director / #Cinematographer James Valdez (@jamesinfocus) takes us #behindthescenes of @CANTASANTIAGO, shot on 3 perf 5213 #35mm @kodak_shootfilm and on #Panaflex XL2 Cameras.

“The story is about a young Mexican-American mariachi singer. I felt shooting 35mm film was an essential part in achieving a timeless and intimate feeling in a way that digital recording would not capture. The sharp contrast of the Panavision Primos paired with a color richness of Kodak Vision 3 200t was a beautiful marriage.

Cultures and its portrayal are important to me, especially of mariachi, as it’s an emblem of Mexican culture—I wanted to make sure the creative decisions made rendered the story well.”
