Simon Sink said, that “When we help ourselves, we find moments of happiness. When we help others, we find lasting fulfillment.” And it’s that sense of fulfillment, I feel today as I introduce you to Shot In The Dark Destello En La Oscuridad, a short backed by NoMAA, written and directed by yours truly. 

My goal is to not only tell stories from marginalized communities, but to invite its viewers to reflect on their own lives and narratives.

My aim is to tell stories that egnite conversations about our roots, our struggles and our identity— this is precisely my goal with Shot In The Dark, a film about how helping others can be your guiding light.

Navigating my own mental health has left me in a depressive state, uninspired. As I realized the curse depression has on my own creativity I began to wonder how to shake this off. Movement and filmmaking has been the answer. This tale is at the core of the film. In the short, in which will be released in the upcoming weeks, we follow Ella as she navigates her own struggles.
