Sofia Batres-

WHEN THE MOON WAXES RED

DESCRIPTION: “An archival film that encapsulates everywhere I am coming from, everywhere I'm going to, and everyone and everything I've come to love since I was the ripe age of 15. From the sirens of my favorite band, "Y La Bamba" recorded off my iphone, to photographs of the women in my family that shaped my understanding of the world, all cut between artwork I created when I was young and discovering what storytelling meant to me-- I wanted to show you the world I was born in and how lucky I am to bask in all of it. I'm not leaving you behind, I'm taking you with me!!!!!“
