Short Film, 2018

The immigrant story is one so endemic to this country and so insinuated into its fabrics, that we’ve begun treating such stories as metrics; mining the immigrant data to fulfill partisan arguments and support policies, and as a result in most cases, minimizing the associated human condition behind each story. The intention with Punta Cana is to illustrate the human side to a familiar immigration dilemma and to allow one character’s experience in this country to be a mirror for greater human truths.
