Strayed
2024
Duration: 04:14
Directed: Elving Josué Mendoza
Dialogue Language: English
Strayed is a film I created to explore the profound lengths we humans will go to for someone or something dear to us. Love, in all its forms, is a fundamental aspect of the human experience, and I wanted to capture, in a brief yet powerful way, just how deeply we value what we hold close. It never ceases to amaze me how far we’re willing to go to protect and preserve the things we cherish. With this in mind, I crafted a story that reveals the depth of this sentiment through the actions of the protagonist. I ultimately chose to center the narrative around rescuing a pet, illustrating that it doesn’t matter whether it’s a person or an animal our love compels us to go to great lengths for those we hold dear.
