From the perspective of an Angeleno and a lifelong Dodger fan. I always get asked how I feel about the history of the Dodgers being Mexican and this film is my response. I love the Dodgers and Baseball because of my family. A team and sport that ruined the lives of so many families has also brought together families over the last century. What we can and need to do today is teach younger generations the history of La Loma, Palo Verde, and Bishop so the events and many lives affected are never forgotten.
Ravine has screened at various film festivals and nominated for awards, including winning Best Original Idea at the 2023 Monza Film Festival.
Ravine
La Que Se Fue
We had no budget and shot this film within two nights in mid April 2021. We're very proud of the film we shot and excited to tell Elena’s story, the story of many young queer people.
The film has proved to me that story matters over anything.
