My current project Archivo Pendiente/Pending File tells the story of Miguel Sanchez who at 14 is taken from an abusive home to a local orphanage. There he must choose between protecting himself or those he has grown to love. Archivo Pendiente is my first feature film and inspired by the children who lived it.
