My work:
Remind Me in an Hour
Creator: Raphael Gonzalez
Remind Me in an Hour charts a breakup over the course of one night. The purpose of this narrative is to give audiences a narrative that fulfills and subverts their expectations. I also hope that by watching, viewers will ask: at what point is comfort no longer worth the work being put in? And how can we all take the first step in making ourselves happier in (or out of) a relationship?
The Living
Creator: Raphael Gonzalez
I wanted to make a break-up film between two friends who learn that they've outgrown each other. I was interested in exploring what happens when someone you love asks you to do something you hate. I think we've all felt that pressure before, and I was interested in the dilemma of telling a friend "no" versus agreeing with them. This is a personal story based on a friendship I had that fell apart. I wanted to explore that while touching on other important themes for me, including mental health and how that intersects with masculinity.
