This project was born out of my fascination with fashion designer Domingo Rodriguez’s work, which I discovered while in London. His collection, focused on structuring the organic contours of the male body, sparked an idea: a short film exploring the theme of taming and structuring our wilder, instinctive nature. It was a passion project, entirely my own initiative.

With a microscopic budget in the low four digits, we relied on creativity and resourcefulness to bring the concept to life—and it paid off. The film went on to win Best Fashion Short at the Miami Fashion Film Festival in 2013 and Best Cinematography at the Aesthetica Short Film Festival the same year.
