  • I was inspired to make this film “I Wish You Were Here” after a couple of rough nights, some would call them nightmares but I think they were more like “visions”. I was only 14 years old when I watched my uncle die in front of me. My “older brother” figure I had was, poof, gone. I mourned throughout the years but I wasn’t aware of how deep my grief was until I became older and more mature. For instance the dreams of me seeing him and being able to say goodbye felt like I had to put them on film. “I Wish You Were Here” turned out a little different than the script due to scheduling issues with the film crew I was going to work with in Guatemala, which forced me to shoot the entire film by myself and not be in it entirely. This is where the character “Rudy” my real life father was created. While watching this film, I wanted the viewer to experience to be what is like to go back to the place where you lost a loved one. To this day creating this film helped me deal with my burdens, tell my story and honor who my uncle was to me, and in some way say goodbye.
    I REALIZED A MASSIVE TYPO!!!!
    The boy who became a man, today he becomes an angel. With eternal love your parents, siblings, nephews, uncles, and friends
    I definitely don't want to re-upload but just wanted to clear that out!
    This was shot entirely with the #BlackmagicPocketCinemaCamera6K in Guatemala City. #indiefilmmakers #guatemalacity

    Bro, you have no idea how much I admire you! I loved it and I also have that hope of seeing my Mom again some day since she took the same decision before leaving us... Keep up the great work, dude!

    Don't stop pursuing this passion, absolutely fantastic achievement. I love all that this video embodies, people need to pay more attention to the smaller creators so that in the future we have more Quentin Tarantinos, Tim Burtons and Coppolas!

    Without even talking about the incredible cinematography of this shoot, you have set the bar high for emotion and meaning. You said you didnt make it into the film and thats not entirely true. Your voiceover conveys more charactar then any visual ever could
