Our short film, "The Lull," boasts a rich cast that reflects the vibrant diversity of the Americas. From the sun-drenched beaches of Rio to the bustling streets of Buenos Aires, we showcase a multitude of ethnicities. Corvelest, a central figure, embodies the strength of African-American communities. Teo bridges the gap between his Argentinian heritage and the experiences of Argentinian-Americans.
