Titanic, A Deep Emotion

In 2014 I began filming a shot-for-shot remake of Titanic by James Cameron.  I thought it would take a year, but it became a long-term project that has involved 1000+ participants from over 20 cities across the United States, Chile and Mexico.  I am producing this experimental film with a low budget, and often times supported by artist residencies and grants.

 I produce, direct, star, edit and I make all of the sets & props with paint and materials found in my immediate surroundings. The actors, crew members and participants are friends, family, and people that I recruit in public spaces. All of the scenes are different (ranging from animation to live action) and all the characters change throughout the film.  

For more information, scroll through the tabs, and if you wish to participate, contribute, exhibit the work, schedule an artist talk, or know more, you can write me using the contact page.

​Titanic, Profundo
​
En 2024 empecé a filmar una recreación cuadro a cuadro de la película Titanic de James Cameron. Pensé que me iba a demorar un año pero el proyecto se convirtió en un proceso largo involucrando a más de 1000 participantes de aproximadamente 20 ciudades en Estados Unidos, Chile y México. Produzco este film experimental con un presupuesto bajo que obtengo gracias a a residencias artísticas y becas.

Produzco, dirijo, protagonizo, edito y construyo las escenografías con pintura y materiales que encuentro a mis alrededores. Actuán actores profesionales, familia, amigos y personas que junto logro juntar en espacios públicos. Todas las escenas son diferentes (pasando por animación y acción real) y tod@s l@s personajes cambian de escena a escena.

Para obtener más información, navega por las pestañas, y si quieres participar, donar, exhibir la obra, agenda una charla de artista, o saber más, me puedes escribir directamente a través de la página de contacto.
