Estimado Tauris, 2021.
Biographical film about my maternal grandparents' relationship, as shown through correspondence they held in the 1970s, archival still photos, and footage of what their house looks like today.
I did not have the chance to get to know either of my grandparents before they died, so the film is also my way of piecing together what I can see and touch–their house, their clothes, their letters, their portraits–with their fleeting words in order to question and construct memories of them, my family, and myself.
