01 / ACCESS

Trust becomes the frame.

The work begins inside recording rooms, archives and communities. Long-term relationships and first-person testimony keep the people who shaped the culture at the center of the frame.

02 / LANGUAGE

Direction and design move together.

Direction, cinematography, title design and archival material operate as one language. Each formal choice is built from the world of the story rather than applied after it.

03 / TWO CITIES

No fixed center.

Growing up in San Juan around underground cassette culture—and later working in New York design, music and film—shaped an approach grounded in circulation, memory and cultural authorship.
