Some stills from our recent short film, Sunflower.
It’s inspired by a story my dad told me about an adventure of his in the early ‘80s. It’s a blend of nostalgia and the love for music he passed down to me. But above all, the story is about second chances and the importance of storytelling in that process.
I really hope it takes anyone who watches it to a warm, loving, and familiar place, just as writing it did for me.
Super thankful to @producedbyboth , @maytecalzacorta @zitrodp and @david_olano & @guillermocasarin for producing the film, to the amazing cast and crew who made it happen! ❤️ Y a los que se leyeron el guión mil veces para darme feedback 🥲 @alejandrogrossmann @clorefilm @monchimonlara @leguish_ @patycarmona @gusajo

This was such a great learning experience. Getting to know @danielnorris18 ‘s approach to life truly inspired me and def. pushed me to be more optimistic, kinder and hardworker. Three elements that, in my opinion, are key in order to really enjoy the process once you’re working on something you love.
I’m thankful to the @tagheuer team for the opportunity and to this amazing crew: -Prod. Co: @kiterockpictures -Producers: @fabiencolas @malcolmduncanyolo -Cinematographer: @plaximus -1st A.C: @thekfwright -Music/Sound Design: @rafarico_ -Color: @jalob
Special mention to my love @monchimonlara for putting up with my all-nighters.

Spent approx. 3 hours on the phone with @jgferrigno yesterday, working on a remote grade for two small passion projects that I had given up to.
Man do I enjoy to picking his brain and trying to understand how he sees and understands “color.” Geeking out over stuff, searching for an honest look (which is something we both love) and just having fun.
I have so much admiration for him and his work. Thankful for having him as a collaborator and friend. Gracias, Jose!

Before the pandemic, I was lucky to take part in a project for @breef242 and @rolex • It was a great learning experience, and not only from a filmmaking standpoint.
Rolex is truly supporting innovative people like BREEF, which is such a unique foundation. Led by @casuarina.mckinneylambert , they are working hard on the preservation of our oceans, with a special emphasis on *education*. They blew my mind.
I guess what stood out to me the most was the incredible amount of passion they have for this cause and their love for their country. And that I will never forget.
Thank you @abendeguzg and Casuarina for the opportunity and for the trust you placed in us.
And to my small crew. You’re not only incredibly talented filmmakers but also the greatest friends. Thank you.
