In this short film things seem to have been simmering for Lena and Tony. Like most relationship problems in life, sometimes we need a little dash of vulnerability and a pinch of honesty to ask for what we want out of the people we love most. It's not easy, but like a good arroz con pollo, it takes love to make it right.

ARROZ CON POLLO

Life is like an arroz con pollo; it takes a little heat, a dash of patience and a whole lotta love.

Man of the Harvest attempts to examine the personal and immediate impacts of gun violence; specifically school shootings. It details, fleetingly yet intimately, the relationship of Kevin and Owen, both curious young teenagers, during a normal day in and out of school. Their human experience may seem trite to them, however subject to an uncontrollable act of violence, the stage of grief becomes a powerful reminder of what was – and that it was beautiful and special.

MAN OF THE HARVEST

Two young boys with a brotherly bond are discovering the beauty hidden in their world; in nature, music and language. But soon must battle to retain it when it is threatened by one uncontrollable act of violence.

17 Year Locust is a story about an unlikely crossing of paths between two people living very different lives, their only common connection being the French language. The short film follows René, a Haitian immigrant, who moves to a French-speaking city in Louisiana in search of a better life for he and his pregnant wife. When Odile, an elderly woman in hospice care, demands a French-speaking caregiver, the staffing agency reaches out to René, who is the only option they have. After intense conversation Odile learns from René that he intends to abandon his own culture and traditions in exchange for becoming “a true citizen”, an American. It’s only then she feels brave to open up and share her own story of American assimilation and the great cost that came with it.
