Fruits of Your Labor is a Sci-Fi Coming-of-Age film about a 17-year-old TikTok influencer who leaves her glamorous life behind when she switches bodies with local fruit vendor Marisol Aguilar, by the fate of one magical mango.

Director's Statement:

My primary goal in making this film is to highlight the beautiful and vibrant Filipino community that flourishes within the neighborhood of Jackson Heights, Queens. Filipinos like myself are not normally seen on screen and I really wanted to change that.
