Between directing gigs, I’m always cooking up original stories and worlds across different mediums. Samsara is one of them. Over the last couple years, I built this hand-drawn proof of concept with a small but extremely talented team, carving it out in our free time, to give you a taste of Samsara’s tone. Samsara is an adult animated sci-fi series exploring identity, memory, and the masks we wear when the line between human and machine starts to fade. This proof of concept is only 60 seconds, but this team poured a lot of love and effort into every frame. In a time where generative AI can spit out images and video instantly, taking the slower road gave me a deeper respect for the craft and for animators and designers who do as a profession.

If you’re a Producer, EP, artist, or just someone who’s into the lore and worldbuilding of Samsara, feel free to reach out. We are looking for collaborators. Lastly, thank you to my partners at Digital Bodega, @izzytheproducer_ , Coat Studio, and Magic Motion Studio. Built across time zones from The Bronx to Europe to the Middle East. We hope you enjoy ✌️

Perseverance: Locking in on the goal and never letting go. This past year we’ve been with @_menard__ across three countries, capturing the grind, the pressure, and the discipline it takes to compete at the highest level — a journey that culminated in his win at EVO 2025. Thank you to @redbullgaming & @blinkesports , and our production family for making it happen. And most of all, thank you Mena for trusting us with your journey.

|||TITI’S FIRST DEADLINE!||| What this year has brought and taught me is that when it’s your time, it’s your time! This project was sent to me by @juanempanadavilla who said “you MUST know Diego Lanao!” @dlanao5 I fell in love with this script, and “Melissa”, and asked my team go forward with me. Having @lucaskoso and @zacharyscootgray on my team means anything is possible. Thank you @graytalentgroup and Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment. I want to say, I’m incredibly privileged to play a role that authentically represents ALL of my identity intersections as a BLACK QUEER BORICUA. Diego made space for me to arrive as my whole self, and grounded these relationships in REAL people. THANK YOU! The 16 days of June spent in NYC was nothing short of magic and full of heart. The production team was incredible, shout out the @digitalbodega team and all of the producers lead by @francescaescarraga . @hazardousgram 1st AD and DP @tobyromerodp were some@of the many folks who held this production DOWN! Very grateful for this experience and for filming 41 locations in 16 days during two NYC heat waves. Can’t wait to see this on the big screen. SUPPORT YOUR INDIE FILMMAKERS! June, I’ll never forget you. 🫶🏾
