Sebastian

Log-line: An emigrating father writes home to his son.

Background: In 1948 my grandfather emigrated from Mexico to America. For generations our family has kept letters he sent and that were sent to him during this tumultuous period. Consequently, what follows is a reimagining of his immigrant story. It feels, unfortunately, more timely than it should, seventy years removed.
