Selected Work
MUTT
2023
EDITOR
Feña, a young trans guy bustling through life in New York City, is afflicted with an incessantly challenging day that resurrects ghosts from his past. Settling the disharmony of transitional upheaval in relationships familial, romantic, and platonic is Feña’s task at hand, and his resulting juggling act is equal parts skillful, fumbling, and honest. In negotiating his obliqueness, the poignant moments he finds between himself and others — as the distance between them closes — are warm, true, and touching.
Mutt won the special jury prize for acting at Sundance 2023 and was awarded a special mention at Berlinale 2023. After a theatrical run, It is now streaming on Netflix.
