between the lights short film

Mike (Justin Huen) struggles with guilt after losing his best friend (Alvaro Orlando) to a night of drinking and driving.

​

With this project, there was so much I wanted to say, so much I wanted to convey while still being cognizant of time. I wanted to speak to my love of LA, the beauty of the lights, the changing of the times… I wanted the audience to relate to these characters as they struggle to appreciate what they missed, the things that surrounded them, and the ties that bind. It was a great honor and privilege to create this project, and I am thankful that Mauricio and Miguel gave me the creative space to work and be a part of their collaboration of talent. Sometimes it’s not the story, or script, or all the pre-prep, that makes a project come to life. Sometimes it’s those magical and happy accidents that bring the right people together at the right time. I am for certain… This was one of those times.
