WRITER + director

Gabriel Guzman is a Puerto Rican filmmaker hailing from Brooklyn, NYC.

He aims to tell stories with a laser focus on characters living in between worlds with no safety net; in his words ‘I’m interested in strange people looking for answers in strange worlds.’

This manifests in stories that allow Black and Brown people to show up unapologetically neurotic in these fantastical spaces.
