Trailer

While visiting family in Puerto Rico, a 10 year old ‘No Sabo Kid’, has his game cartridge stolen by a mischievous Coquí  while at a family party.

Artist Statement

My art and animations have always been inspired by culture. Whether that be my Mexican-Puerto Rican culture or the countless others I experienced growing up. While stories educating wider audiences on Latino Culture are great, I also wish to tell the smaller-scale stories that explore the less talked about aspects of Latino identity, with a touch of magic thrown in. My animations and stories take inspiration from my own experiences and that of my family. My film is a love letter to the warm, loud, animated summers spent in my Titi’s house in San Juan, and the many classic Tom and Jerry, and Looney Toons cartoons I watched in said house.

She graduated from Emily Carr University of Art and Design with a degree in 2D-Experimental Animation, with a special focus in Character Design, and Character Animation. She is now aiming to pursue a career as an animator and to one day work up to directing her own animated shows that uplift and showcase Latino voices and culture.
