There are both challenges and successes that we experience anytime we embark on a new journey. The purpose of this space is to recognize both aspects and grow through them together!
production title:
sanguine reflections
Status: Development
Writer: Sally Avina
Genre: Life drama
Format: Short film
Logline: When a female entrepreneur’s rapid rise to success leaves her in a damaged physical and mental state, she is forced to re-evaluate her life’s path and must face the generational traumas that haunt her before the damage consumes her.
Note from the writer:
Sanguine Reflections explores the mental state of a woman through the lens of her inner critic. The intention of this film is to unveil the unspoken challenges of a Mexican-American woman when she is faced with major life altering events, both celebratory and devastating. We follow the journey of Aimee Ruiz as she embarks through self-exploration to heal from generational traumas as she challenges her cultural norms.
The inspiration for this story is derived from real challenges that exist within the Hispanic and Latine communities. Mental health remains a stigma, especially with the older generations. Storytelling through film is a powerful way to reveal the upbringings and circumstances that continue to feed the cycles of generational traumas. I hope this film will inspire healing and encourage individuals within this community - and beyond - to take action towards breaking these cycles.
