🎵 Oops I did it again 🎵 Thank you @chicanohollywood for giving me the opportunity to volunteer. I’m incredibly grateful to have played a small part in something so meaningful. It was humbling to witness so many talented filmmakers, actors, writers, and creatives share stories that came straight from the heart.

To all of the amazing volunteers who made sure the festival ran as smoothly as it did—thank you. Their hard work and kindness made this an unforgettable experience. It was an honor to volunteer alongside such talented and passionate people.

Here’s to the storytellers who continue to inspire us and the bright futures that lie ahead for everyone I had the privilege of meeting. I can’t wait to see what you all accomplish next.

Transforming visions into vibrant realities! While working with Ortega Brothers Vision on this Pachuco film, I was super excited to be part of the team. They provided a spacious environment for us as makeup artists, which was crucial for maintaining a clean and organized area for the actors and actresses.

I got to meet some wonderful creatives and spent the day collaborating to bring our culture and history to life. Enjoying great food together made the experience even richer!
Never give up on your dreams. Keep pursuing them, and don’t hesitate to network. Make new friends and establish those invaluable contacts!

“So you’re telling me that.. that… suffering is really just a perspective and conditioned response and life is about un-learning it to experience the abundance of love that is ever present throughout the universe?… No matter what or where you are in life YOU JUST GOTTA SURRENDER TO SEEING IT?!” - me as I looked through all the photos I took during my 32nd year.

Our @shotdeck Recreations 2025 entry from SINNERS. 🎬
For wardrobe, we thrifted everything except the vest. We compromised with a tan one, then hit Michaels to dye it that perfect yellow from the film. The necklaces for Smoke were easy since I already had a matching medallion. For the second necklace, I found a SmallRig pouch that felt spot-on and tied a string to it. Saul had a black guitar on deck, and we already had a watch on standby.
The casting came together beautifully. I’ve known Jataun for years and always wanted to work with him, I thought he’d be a perfect Michael B. Jordan to play Smoke; this was the moment. He also helped us bring in Dareionte to play Sam. As soon as they got in the wardrobe it made more sense than we could have imagined. To finish, our MUA Eilani gave the looks our talent needed, all the way to the smallest detail on wardrobe.
Lighting this was the biggest thing to figure out. I saw a BTS YouTube video that Autumn Durald Arkapaw lit this scene with a massive soft source overhead; sadly, all we had was an Amaran 60D and a softbox. For our “fire” key, we ran power off Moy’s truck with extension cords, only to learn we could push the light to 80% max output. It was just enough to nail exposure. And of course, waiting for the exact moment we needed the sun to hit—which Sun Tracker helped out with!We didn’t have the exact depth of field we wanted (small sensor limits + lens wide open at 1.2), but we made it work. We also waited for the sun to hit the exact spot we needed it to. Turns out the perfect “lake” was in our own backyard… Long Beach. I researched the focal length used in the film and did some math to guesstimate where to land, and understanding which film stock this was shot on helped us reproduce the colors more accurately. This was truly well worth the effort!
