We were supposed to pick 3 Finalists, but we connected heavily with 6 additional projects so we decided to expand our Finalists slots to 6 for 2024!

First up, Cascarrabias—a personal, powerful and poetic drama set in El Paso, Texas in the early 2010’s. Written and directed by Ignacio Ramos (@ig____nite )

Logline: When a young man is called home to care for his ailing father, he must confront three generations of malevolent expectations before it’s too late. 

Cascarrabias (transalted from colloquial Spanish)—Cantankerous (noun) 1. an ill-tempered, stubborn person.

Cascarrabias just finished filming (on beautiful 16mm) and is about to step into post-production. We’re happy to be supporting Cascarrabias throughout their post-production and helping them tie together this powerful story.
