After an incredible festival run, Ovejas y Lobos is now a Vimeo staff pick
One of my favorite projects to date. Haven’t taken the chance to properly put this on here but one of my favorite narratives I’ve ever shot both in the work and in the experience. Couldn’t have done it without my director @alexfischman my lighting partners @desistenciaretiniana and @littlelavoe the incredible crew of artists with @necroespergesia my partner in painting on this one @jimmynez the composition by @paulogallog and the incredibly talented actors on screen.
A collection of stills and bts from “On Mute.”
Inspired by work-from-home culture, and the quiet frustration that can emerge from endless online meetings. Contemplating how time, energy and life could be spent elsewhere, the film’s protagonist enters a raw state of release, losing herself to primal, physical instinct as dissatisfaction and exhaustion take over.
