An American Posada (2021)
An experimental project written in 4 days, filmed in 6 days, edited in 1 week. Creator, writer, and director Robert Pagan in his first ever cinematography credit experiments with a Samsung Galaxy S21+ and conference microphone to bring you "An American Posada" “Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world. “ Dolores Huerta. In the midst of civil unrest, failing industry, and war, the small town of Trillberry, California is divided and grieving, yet united in hope. Knowing that a Posada procession is too dangerous in this climate of anti-protest in a sundown town, Mr. Brown keeps his family tradition alive by hosting this year’s Posada at his home instead.
