An action short me and some friends made after getting back from Tijuana. We spent a week to get the idea, pre-production, and shot the whole thing.
Happy belated Valentine’s Day!

When we arrived in California, it was a warm 72 degrees, and we were all smiles. We left snow and ice on the east coast, so the constant sunshine and warm weather in January was surprising and welcomed. Every once in a while, I would find myself daydreaming about the falling snowflakes and making snowmen (before recalling bad memories of digging my car out from under 2 feet of snow).
For now, I’m satisfied to watch the snow and great storytelling through director Rodrigo Blaas’ first animated short film, Alma.

Great short film about trees and Christmas. You’d never see anything like this in the theatres. And that’s the true gold mine for what’s to come. Original and innovative stories like this.
