Trailer for the short film "Lady of Taille" After the death of her domineering father, Lady Rosalba clings to the hope of reunion with her forbidden love, José Antonio—her family’s exiled stable master—until a long-awaited letter shatters her expectations. Instead of devotion, it carries farewell, leaving Rosalba to confront the collapse of her world. Fleeing into a childhood sanctuary, she surrenders to grief as the surrounding landscape becomes her only witness, transforming her anguish into a visceral act of release and self-reclamation.

Some tidbits of some outtakes of shooting, designing and acting in my short film, "Maid Dances", shot entirely with a one crew, once cast team: me. Talking to myself, calling shots, and staying in the moment.

This is a short film about Ada, a maid, going about her work, tired, disheartened, and a bit sad, when suddenly...as she puts in her headphones, and starts to listen to music, her imagination takes on a life of its own, and uplifts her day from drudgery, and a mechanical existence, to that of a free, alive, full, beautiful woman, happy, owning the moment, reminded that life, is what you make of it...so, dance.
