Raul Rosco Guerrero

Absolutely obsessed with Mischa in Palm Trees and the raw wisdom she imparts on the young and conflicted Zed. Not without Mischas own bias, resentments and conflict ingrained but that’s human, right? . Another knockout performance by @faerybee Brea utterly owns this role and delivery and I’m so happy we get to work together. . @madisonmontgomerymusic score is so trippy and 90s inspired like the classic two-hander films we grew up watching. . Full video up on YouTube now. Link in bio, . Love you all. @roscorg

It was my birthday a couple days ago. Took a quick second to reflect on this past year. Long post incoming… What can I even say about it?
There aren’t really words. I’ll start with thank you… and gratitude.
The active kind.
The “how can I serve, how can I show up, put me to work” kind. To God, my family, my friends, my sobriety, Madison, my sponsor, my mentors, my coworkers, my gym crew; from Muay Thai to the program peeps to the film fam, those I learn from, those I teach and everyone in between.
The universe. Beyond.
I’m available. Use me. Most transformative year of my life. Holy sheesh.
Challenges galore.
Some I chose. Some chose me.
Grateful for all of ’em. I created a motto and way of life:
“Unwavering faith and relentless pressure.”
Seems to be working so far. Fueled by the gift of desperation.
A little divine intervention.
I don’t know the full formula…
but I do know this: When I stopped running from the hard choices
and leaned into the uncomfortable,
I found radical growth. Real, grown-man growth.
Accountability. Self-awareness. Objectivity. Changed inside… outside followed.
One step at a time. Moving. Trusting. Marching forward. Let myself look back for a moment
and damn…
I can barely see where I started.
And there’s still so much road ahead. It’s nice here.
But, I’m curious what’s further. Gonna keep moving ahead to find out. Life’s a trip.
There was a time I wasn’t sure I’d see 18.
What a ride, man.
Love you all. Collected some photos here to reflect on this year (Saved the most dramatic for the last 2.)

Teaser 1 (dramatic) We’ve had an absolutely INSANE week over here in the Harm’s Way universe. Enjoy this little taste and stay tuned for Full trailer next week!!! Let’s go!

Palm Trees - a short film Made by People. Two souls trudging the road of happy destiny one sunny morning in Los Angeles, surrounded by palm trees. . Love. That’s what it’s all about. Love friends. Life. Art. Love struggles, love pain, love loss, love wins, love gains… all of it. We don’t get that much time. That’s what this little film is about. Entitlement, serenity, gratitude, sobriety, faith, love, happiness, and growth are all present in this piece. As they are in life. We’re perfectly imperfect beings, trying to do our best. We all have our manner of vice and character defects. But that’s not what defines us. What defines us is what we do about them. And if we’re lucky… we get to do it surrounded by people we love. Much love. . Absolutely magical performances by @faerybee and Jonathan Dylan King. Powerhouses. Blessed to work with them, and even more blessed to call them friends. CREW: DP: @kurtcollins is a miracle man. A man and a cam and makes it look like a TV show. Wow. Producer: @s.martin_film helped every step of the way. A tank. Total rockstar talent and brother in arms. Grip: @connerleephotography became the glue. In true universe fashion, he’s already landed new opportunities from this little film. That’s the magic of creating. Sound: @derek.zen . Shooting next to a busy highway with every imaginable flying and driving sound pollution. He handled it like a champ and a pro, and kept us all laughing the whole way through. Hire this dude! Score & Music: Then the queen herself, @madisonmontgomerymusic My better half. Every note of music in this piece she created from scratch. The ending song is a legit banger. I’m never going to stop being amazed at what she’s able to dream up and execute at the highest level. Post Audio: @denzelreckless , the super triple OG homie from Denver, came on board at the end to help with the mess I made in the edit haha. He used his immense knowledge and experience to help clean up and fix all the audio I destroyed. And boom… all of a sudden, a movie was in there. Hire him too! . Hope y’all enjoy this little piece. Or not. Either way. I’m so glad we made it, and we have many more to make. Much love. Writer/ Director @roscorg
