Mírame (2024)
A capable young bar server handles the unsavory aspects of her job with ease. However, her carefully crafted armor begins to crumble when a man from her past requests her as his server.
Mírame was written and filmed during my final year at Temple University. Reaching %114 of its fundraising goal, Mírame led a successful crowdfunding campaign, raising $4,653.00. As the writer and co-director, Mírame was an incredibly personal project, as well as my first production of this scale. Mírame’s story explores the relationship to one’s sexuality and the lasting damages of manipulation and imbalances of power.
Independently funded and produced by an incredible team of Temple University students, Mírame is currently being submitted to festivals. For those interested, please email anna.crinion@gmail.com for access to the project. Please enjoy a selection of stills from the final product.
