Eli Elisco - “Kitchen Dance”
In collaboration with Californian director and musician Eli Elisco, we created Kitchen Dance—a poignant short film and original score serving as a tribute to the ongoing immigrant separation crisis in the United States. Through intimate storytelling and carefully composed cinematography, the piece aims to evoke empathy and bring attention to a deeply human issue. Kitchen Dance premiered as part of the Lift-Off Global Network Film Festival in 2022, marking its official international debut.
