Raised in a small, rural, Mexican-American town, I identify as Mexican-American, Latina, and as a Tejana. I am a very passionate storyteller from a very creative family with diverse backgrounds and interests.

​

As a director from Kingsville, Tx, I’m very excited to tell this story because it will take place and be filmed in my hometown. Having been born in Corpus Christi and raised in Kingsville, Tx, my family has been in the area for centuries upon centuries. With my own family having a drive and an aptitude for pursuing education in order to see better in a tumultuous world,
this is a short that is taking a lot of inspiration from my own life and family members and is based on my own upbringing.

As a director, writer, and visual artist, I am fascinated with exploring the ways that dreams, memories, emotions, and other things that we can’t physically see, have an impact on our day - to - day living and also determine the overall course that we decide to take with our lives. As a person with vivid dreams and sleep paralysis, I have grown up constantly seeing elements of a fantasy and reality mixed together, to create a whole new experience that feels like it’s real to me. I’m excited to make this film in order to tell a story about where I come from, be able to put an honest interpretation of my own background and hometown on screen, be able to have story with a complex Mexican-American community at the forefront, and be able to tell create a film that uses the female main character’s perspective as a way to make the viewer understand that sometimes, for even one person, the fantasy because the reality.
