Innocence doesn’t know when the world has turned against it.
Production Blog for a short film titled Chasing Sparks
The chase was never about the spark — it was about what it revealed.
A world split open by sound and silence,
innocence and violence, life and the echo that follows.
About
I made Chasing Sparks because silence is compliance. Every day, thousands of children lose their lives to gun violence. Families are torn apart by raids and deportations, while people are displaced and persecuted for simply existing. Watching these injustices unfold — in America and across the world — is something that sits heavy in my chest and drives me to speak through my work.
As an immigrant, I carry the awareness of my own privilege — the privilege of having had access to a legal path that so many others are denied. Seeing others stripped from their homes, their safety, and their lives is something I can’t look away from.
Chasing Sparks was inspired by movements like No Kings and Black Lives Matter, and by the shared grief and defiance that unite people who demand change. It’s a reflection of innocence caught in the crossfire — a meditation on loss, justice, and the cost of indifference.
