I had the opportunity to document an evening of unique creative collaboration during Marmoset’s fifth installment of A/VEC, as filmmaker Claudia Meza and musician, Luz Mendoza of Y La Bamba came together in a powerful one time performance.
Gathered at Marmoset headquarters, the short film shines a light on the unseen, backbreaking physical labor performed by migrant workers every day in the United States. It's a poetic testimony transcending the general outlook of immigration, presenting an experimental yet informative documentary that never compromises identities.
The audio heartbeat of the film is Y La Bamba's original music, scored live on the night of the A/VEC community screening. It's an evening that pays homage to lineage, history, roots, culture and art —watch to learn more and click here to read our Journal post about it.

"Infuriated by his mindless desk job, Charlie sets out to quit, only to be stopped in his tracks by his personal inability to take a risk. After much prodding from an annoying roommate and a growing fondness towards a co-worker, Charlie must decide if he can muster the strength to actually put himself out there, despite the outcome." - Portland International Film Festival
