The film for my culmination project “Buen Provecho”
Buen Provecho BTS Stills
A few BTS footage from the shoot of Buen Provecho. Our main characters, a father, played by Edwin Mendez, enjoys a meal with his son, played by Alex Calle
Buen Provecho Script
The final script for the short film “Buen Provecho”. The script is written to be in length of a single scene. I made it this length because there is enough to tell about a director, screenwriter and camera op from one scene alone. The story follows a boy and a man eating a meal together at a park and having a conversation.

Culmination Poster
The original concepts for my culmination project. This project was created around April of 2021 while I was sitting with my friend talking about our lives in Mexico. This story took many different paths and ideas before the final cut and this poster showcases an entirely different genre of film. However, the inspirations stayed true and the tools I used are still there.
