DREAM OF JESSE
504/GWT
I’m a Latine filmmaker, screenwriter, and multi-media artist from Los Angeles, California (Glassell Park); a first-generation graduate from Northwestern University; and a first-year graduate student at California Institute of the Arts. Learned in programs like RunwayAI, Unreal Engine 5, Unity, After Effects, Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator, DaVinci Resolve, and Blender; I am a futurist. I imagine a media boundless by ideals yet embedded in a human-made reality, created by people like me. My storytelling and production skills span from music videos and short narrative films to experimental documentaries which have been selected in festivals from the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY) to the Defy Film Festival.

venus
A music video featuring my music, editing, and direction. The song and video are about toxic relationships and Stockholm syndrome, which is distinctly demonstrated through the visual synthesis of two pre-existing media: Possession (1981) and “Venus as a Boy '' by Bjork. Possession (1981) exemplifies the spiraling of a toxic relationship while “Venus as a Boy” expresses a deep infatuation, referencing different scenes from the respective video and film while also infusing messages of transitional gender conflict - an ode to Possession’s second layer being about the Berlin Wall.
