By looking into my nonbinary trans identity, I review my personal and film archives in order to understand the path that has led me to where I am. As a queer artist and through voice, body and image experimentations, I wonder about my films and my life: what is my place in this world?

Chaac and Yum

11
min 
Content warning:
Inspired by the sacred and ancient relationship between Chaac, the Mayan deity of Rain, and Yum, the Mayan deity of corn, this short erotic drama tells a story about two queer, Mayan-descended Two Spirits who meet at a queer San Francisco bar. Upon touching and dancing with one another they realize their connection is ancient. Starring performance artists Xav S-F and Daniel Arizmendi/Snowflake Calvert (Tzeltal, Tzotzil, Yaqui), this film examines the queer, de-colonial, ancestral rituals in our contemporary QTPOC love, dating, and kink practices.
