Oscar! You did it, amico mio. This is awesome, and a titanic project. I will re-watch the movie on a big screen, as you suggested, but I can already tell you that I loved it. So, so, SO happy for you!
I’m happy you wrote up this entire thing, I loved getting to read about the entire process from beginning to end! (Mistakes and all lol) Truly buzzing with joy for you. Is a secondhand filmmaking buzz a thing? I think I have it.
It was the greatest thing to hear about your journey along the way and witness your joy and see you working through the challenges. And SO grateful you trust me enough to reach out and ask for help and that you even wanted me to help at all! I’ve loved getting to be in your corner rooting for you, even if it's from a distance, and I’m always going to be here rooting for you.
As a True Fan™️ I loved all these details. Like hearing about the color palette, checking out your shot list, the lighting, etc. And that tip about making sure you just focus on directing the day of filming. Makes sense, this sounds like so much project management! And it being your first time, you did an incredible job with how much you were juggling and learning. I know it wasn’t easy.
You know, very few people follow-through with what they say they’re going to do. And you did! That’s fucking amazing. Like, truly. When you consider how much time, thought, and challenges go into making even a small film, it’s crazy that any movie gets made at all. And the fact that you picked such a challenging concept, brought in AI into the mix, and just threw yourself into this beautiful chaos with no idea what was going to happen, but really striving to complete it and do the best you could do while literally figuring it out along the way. I can't believe this was 4 months, that's crazy. It went from IT'S ALL HAPPENING, IT'S REAL to it HAPPENED. You're such an inspiration, my friend.
And the REAL scene with them arguing was so good. I’m happy to hear how much fun and joy you had with that one. And I was thinking the intro to Mexico 2020 had a music video vibe, so I’m excited to see what you do when you dive into making a real one!
I laughed so hard at this: "My wife helped and was pivotal in bringing the tamales guy, who was both thrilled and a bit confused on why we had to get so many takes of him doing the same" and the kid with the basketball. I see you forgot to include Ale in your budget!! The tamale guy was an important role, she deserves compensation!
This was so insightful, I’m learning so much from you by reading this and it makes me look forward to the day I get to really dive into filmmaking in some way too. Loved seeing the progression to this final version. It came out awesome, Oscar. Forever proud of you.
I feel like I have more to say, but I’ll stop there for now. You and everyone involved did a fantastic job. (And it’s so cool to see my name in the credits! Biggest smile on my face!!!!) One day, I hope to witness you in your element in person. Until then, I’m happy to get a tiny glimpse of it from a distance. I hope you're enjoying the post-publish in peace, Director Oscar. Abrazos.
Well, is this the best comment ever? Reading it will always be a way to go back to this equally pleasant and stressful weeks, but very satisfying ones. The buzz cycle definitely continues reading your comment, and it's just so amazing, and humbling, to know someone else can be as genuinely happy as you for your wins. Know that it is completely reciprocal, both that and being a True Fan™️, I'm very happy to have you in my life.
The first of many thanks to you goes to you being alongside me from (way before) the beginning until the end, so thank you!
Also thank you for putting up with my mistakes in the write up, I'm happy you didn't die from it.
I'll continue with the P.S.: let's make that film happen! I'm definitely down :) Memory Alchemy? Something else? I'm sure we'll get to work together on film someday, it's how we initially bonded ;)
The paragraph about following-through, inspiration and all these words that just make me blush and can't find a proper answer to, other than it'll be something I'll read when I'm down or having self-doubt.
Glad to have made you laugh (I did too both when it happened and when I wrote it), those were FUN moments, that you kept reminding me to have, and did manage to do (sometimes). And thanks to your comment I have now received an invoice from my wife 😒
I'm glad that what I learned was conveyed and valuable to you. It was indeed a dream come true, and you need to say anything else, all you did, and already said, is much more than enough, and forever grateful for it.
YOU DID IT! I am so proud of you. I am celebrating you and this achievement. Seeing you in the week leading up to production I knew you were ready. Finally seeing the end result is a joy. I'm still thinking about that Tamale scene. Well done. Well done. congratulations. felicidades. fuerza abrazos y mezcal!!!
Tu fuerza y empuje han sido fundamentales, mi querido amigo! I remember you pushing me in 2022 to do something with video in 2023, and I kept that voice inside which really helped. Muchas gracias por todo tu apoyo, y más abrazos y mezcal de regreso!
Wow Oscar. and I'll bet this is only a fraction of what you learned. congrats on diving in. what better way to accelerate your craft. I especially appreciated pieces of this that are related to taking on any project. Like “make sure you’re only directing the day of the shooting, not worrying about logistics or something else” could apply to any endeavor. And also the 3 1/3s advice from Vicky Zhao. you're a film-maker! wohoo!
Thank you so much dear Rick! You're right both in that this is only a fraction of what I learned, and the impact it had on me, and also about that lesson being applicable to any other endeavor! Now that you point it out I will apply it like that too haha.
Deeply grateful also for your support, I remember you offered a project of yours for me to train filmmaking in and felt very honored even if it wasn't the right fit at the moment. Thank you for that and your never ending encouragement!
Wowowow - so surreal. Working with you was a gift of dreams. I could talk for a thousand years about the impact you had on me. Awesome project, thank you!
It was me who a received a gift from you, finding you was literally what unlocked everything. I'm glad the impact is mutual, and thank YOU for everything!
It took me a while, but here I am. So proud and happy to watch your first film of many. So happy that you changed your mind and decided to pursue this passion instead of waiting until [money, time, etc]. To read your story, to have seen you fighting with the toothbrush scene . Ayyy qué emoción. Y claaarooo, los detalles, aunque ya los había escuchado en persona, es tan bonito imaginarte emocionado re contándolos. Gracias por el behind the scenes tan detallado y gracias por recordarme de una paranoia que todos vivimos. Me quedo con: “talking makes monsters evaporate”
Muchas gracias, mi querida amiga :) Qué bueno que te quedas con eso, lo más importante!
Siempre me acordaré que por aquí andabas cuando estaba empezando a ver esta parte tan complicada jaja y así será, el primero de muchos!
Gracias por darte el tiempo de verlo bien y con calma, y también por pasar a dejar un mensaje tan padre. memorable y alentador, lo guardo para momentos difíciles.
Wow Mohammad, amazed at how prolific you have been! Thank you for sharing your work. Any place you'd recommend to start? And definitely, would love to collaborate :) I'll reach out.
Thank you for stopping by and watching, I'm humbled and excited.
Oscar!!!! Congratulations!!! I am so proud for you!!! You dreamed it! And you made it happen!!!
I loved watching your beautiful micro film! It’s so entertaining and poetic. I felt George’s external and internal experiences. You captured the story arc from how anxiety and distrust can create rifts to his tiny steps toward a path of courage and hope. George’s layered experience reminded me of how the Save the Cat books discuss an A Story (external experience) and a B Story (internal experience.) Have you read those books? My husband has read the screenwriting, movies, novel, and young adult versions. He and I both appreciate Jessica Brody’s Save the Cat writes a novel and Save the Cat writes a young novel the most because they more clearly explain stories and story beats. https://amzn.to/48TlyFB and https://amzn.to/48xwdFA
I also looooved reading about your movie making process. I loved reading about your experiences and lessons learned through your thoughtful, information-rich article. When I thought about why your article had such a powerful sticky factor for me, I realized this: You captured this life formula beautifully in your lovely conversational retelling of your creative process: Commitment --> follow coincidences & share contagious enthusiasm with other people = generous community support + huge creation.
Wow, Jenny, I'm really moved and humbled by your comment. It makes me extremely happy to know that both the internal and external experiences were conveyed. It was something that Andrew did so well in his story that I'm now only articulating with your comment, and did subconsciously try very hard to accomplish.
You explaining it like this goes beyond what even I understood, and is so valuable for me that you mention it, really. Also, I just bought the book and will love to tell you what else I learn from it. Thank you for your recommendations!!
I'm also amazed at how you codified my experiences into a life formula, I hand't even realized about it and makes it easier for to replicate. You're so right, and wise! I'm glad you enjoyed reading about it, and that it was sticky, such a great compliment!!
I can't thank you enough for taking the time to write such a deep and thoughtful comment Jenny, and also for watching and reading, really grateful to know you and call you a friend!!
Hello my wonderful friend Oscar, I'm so happy that my deep enjoyment of your video and article came through in my comments to you.
Yes, I'd love to hear what key takeaways you get from the Save the Cat book. My husband and I both enjoyed the Young Adult Save the Cat book even more than the Novel Save the Cat book even though we're not YA writers (and I'm not a a fiction writer.) This is probably because the author got even better at understanding and articulating her principles.
Happy reading, writing, filming, creating, and relaxing to you! :) :) Jenny
Ohh that's good to know Jenny!! I focused on the original one precisely because I'm not thinking of writing or doing anything YA related for now, but now that you mention it I'll get it too, and also your reason on why that's the case seems spot-on.
Thank you again and happy all that to you too, and even more!!
“Taking so much time to start doing this, just do it!”
YOU DID IT!!!
Oscar, huge congratulations on seizing the moment and turning your dream into a reality. It’s so awesome to see your unique style transform, take shape, and emerge on the screen.
I loved reading the behind-the-scenes on how the project came to life through connections, chance, and collaboration. Cheers to you and your team!
Can't thank you enough for your words, dear Rachael. It has indeed been a dream come true, and very happy to share it with friends like you. Appreciate you sparing such kind words and also that you read through the mammoth of a behind-the-scenes text haha. Thank you so much!
Que se prenda! Y lo prendamos juntos. Muchas gracias por tan increíbles palabras, y por tu apoyo incondicional a lo largo de estos años. Que venga un gran 2024 juntos!
Hoy superaste lo insuperable en ti. Es inigualable la forma en la que funciona tu mente, la determinación con la que te riges, la creatividad que hace que la mente de tantos vuele y el humor tan bizarro y exquisito que te define. Y hoy, todo está plasmado aquí.
Agradezco enormemente que hayas ido antes que yo, porque marcas cada paso de mi camino antes de que lo dé a través de la increíble trayectoria del tuyo. “Crezco en hombros de gigantes contigo.”
El día anterior de ver tu microfilm, era solo una idea loca. Hoy es una grandeza. Mi punto de referencia para tantas cosas.
Por favor sigue haciendo mucho de esto, de tu pasión, porque mucho de lo que sé lo aprendí copiándote. Eres un mundo en el que, si entras, te encuentras.
Tienes un futuro excepcional por delante. Vas a tomarle a este mundo lo mejor que tiene, estoy segura.
Tu vida, al parecer, se revela mejor en la pantalla.
He saboreado tu mensaje todos estos días, y lo seguiré haciendo! Qué palabras tan increíbles y halagadoras, no sabes cómo aprecio lo acertada y precisa que eres.
Me encanta tenerte siempre a mi lado, y haber compartido y seguir compartiendo la vida (y humor) juntos.
Estoy convencido que todas esas cosas increíbles que me dices, tú también las tienes! Y que nos influenciamos el uno al otro, y nos hacemos mejores entre los dos.
Seguiré haciendo esto y sé perfecto tú también seguirás haciendo cosas increíbles!!
It’s funny, I remember chatting about AI with you, and you really convinced me that it’s better to embrace the tools to help make your vision come alive. This video is such a great example of that. The AI adds so much to the surreal elements. When it switches to the “real” scenes, they almost seem more warm and accessible because of the change. I loved it! Including the backstory. Congrats to you and the whole team involved!
Really happy you say this Michelle! It's a great observation about the "real" feeling warmer, I hadn't articulated but it is so true (guess the AI won't ever beat our warmness, ha!).
Appreciate you highlighting this being an example of embracing AI, happy to know this! Also thank you so much for your kind word, and your always positive energy and support!!
Congratulations my friend! An excellent project with an equally amazing documentation of the creative process. What an amazingly thorough and rigorous behind the scenes. Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much dear Tai! Glad you enjoyed it along the behind the scenes, appreciate you taking the time to watch and read, and your support always. Merry 2 weeks after Christmas!
Congrats on getting this lovely piece of art out into the world! I know you've been desiring to make short films since we first met, and it's inspiring to see you actually doing it. Huge accomplishment Oscar. I look forward to the next one :)
So happy to read your comment Jon, beautiful words. It has indeed been a dream come true, and happy to know it sparked something in you. Really grateful for your friendship, and I'm also looking forward to what you put out next!
Oscar! You did it, amico mio. This is awesome, and a titanic project. I will re-watch the movie on a big screen, as you suggested, but I can already tell you that I loved it. So, so, SO happy for you!
Thank you so much Silvio! Your comment, support and friendship mean a lot to me. Grande abraccio!
HE’S A FILMMAKER!!! YUHUUUUU!!!

P.S. Ready to make a film together when you are.
P.S. x 2 STOP being so cool, it's annoying
Actually P.S. x 3 "Oscar just won an Oscar" lolololol Also, I still think we needed more Oscar taking shots in that.
Hahaha I do have to confess I congratulated myself for coming up with that.
And no more shots of me taking shots until we take a (mezcal) shot together!
😂😂 No lo puedo evitar 🤷♂️
Also, I don't think so!

Congrats on finishing such an ambitious project and for teaching yourself so many things. I can't wait to see what you do next.
Thank you for watching and for your kind words Grant! It was an adventure I'm really glad I embarked on.
Can't believe I've just stumbled upon this. Your journey into filmmaking takes me back to when I started making short films.
Right now, I'm focusing more on writing short stories & scripts. https://story-portfolio-page.super.site/
But man, I can't wait to see more of your work! Feel free to reach out if you want to collaborate!
Wow Mohammad, amazed at how prolific you have been! Thank you for sharing your work. Any place you'd recommend to start? And definitely, would love to collaborate :) I'll reach out.
