| Notes for Judging: | With the current political climate and as an immigrant artist, I believe it is essential to share these compelling stories. I feel much personally related to them. We are living in a country where we still deal with racial injustice and where Hispanic protagonists are not usually the drivers of their own lives and destiny. The film's locations are Latin American communities in New York and photographed handheld as if a close family member shot it. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Marco Castro |
