“No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark.”
(Warsan Shire)
Nueva Vida
Through stories and memories, the sacrifices that are done by hundreds of people at the Mexico-USA border is something that has long been known. There are spurs of moments when the media is all over what is happening down south. Yet in a blink, they move on to the next issue and forget the struggles that generations of immigrants have endured to create a better life for not just themselves, but the future that they carry with them while they cross the harsh terrain that awaits them.
Timeless
Timeless is a series that uses cinematic aspects to create a moment in time that can happen at any given moment. These emotions can be happy, sad, depressing, or anything, all of these emotions are connected to a place. This series explores the emotions and events of people in subtle and cinematic ways.
