My Newest Short Films

Hello and welcome to The Doctor's Prognosis!

Well it was a long time between my last two posts but with good reason. As mentioned in my last post, I was hard at work on a couple of films, among other projects. So it only makes sense to present you now with my newest films!

Now my films are very short. I find that most people don't want to spend a half hour watching a film from a nobody on the Internet. So I make it a point to keep them as short as possible. And when editing, I try to "cut out the fat" in the footage. Sometimes, it's easy to fall into a trap of wanting to get all the footage you like into the film. But this only hurts the film. You have to take a step back and ask yourself, "Does this really fit? Is it already said elsewhere in the film?" This prevents the film from dragging and keeps it entertaining. So I really hope you enjoy my films because I put a lot of work into them.

THE ENTERTAINER

This is a very short narrative film. It stars my brother, Luis, and his girlfriend, Jackie, as the leads. Can the dorky magician win the heart of the young lady? Find out now.....




ABUELITA

This is a very short documentary and tribute to my abuelita, my grandmother. Features interviews with my immediate family and some old Ecuadorian music (which my grandma loves).



I really hope you enjoyed my films. Let me know what you think. I am always open to feedback.

I have two older films I have posted online as well. One is a short chase film, and the other a short documentary on magic. You can reach them on my YouTube page. I hope to make more films in the future so please look forward to those projects.

Thanks for making another appointment with The Doctor's Prognosis! See you next time!
