Jacobs and Naranjo's deadpan non-chemistry is the entire movie.

Direction

Writing

Dialogue so minimal it feels like eavesdropping on strangers.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

Jacobs made this for $50K in his own neighborhood, casting friends and family — his real sister plays Diaz, and the film's rawness comes from that genuine intimacy.

Cultural

A hidden bridge between mumblecore and the Mexican indie scene — Gerardo Naranjo went on to direct MISS BALA, making this an accidental meeting of two major indie movements.
