JUNIOR TU PAPÁ (2024) | Co-Writer, Co-Producer, Sound Designer & Re-recording Mixer

Logistics & Timeline: 16-minute documentary short film | Directed by Daniel Díaz | Produced by CiNEOLA, Miní Chitiá, and Cuentero Productions.

  1. Narrative Framework: A cinematic essay tracing soccer, regional family identity, and the cultural landscape of Colombia's Caribbean coast. The film reconstructs waning memories of the historic 1993 domestic championship final between Junior de Barranquilla and América de Cali from a single VHS tape watched by a father and son in London. It contextualizes sport as a collective emotional sanctuary and distraction during a time of intense domestic violence, when Colombia's national squad was considered one of the best on Earth.

  3. Festival Footprint: Celebrated its World Premiere at the True/False Film Festival (Columbia, MO) and official screening profile at the Aesthetica Short Film Festival (ASFF) and FICCI (Festival Internacional de Cine de Cartagena de Indias).
