In this episode, we sit down with Guatemalan-Honduran-American filmmaker Santos Arrué to explore her creative practice and the themes that ground her work. We talk about her focus on displacement, representation, and what it means to tell stories that reflect lived experiences while imagining new futures for communities like ours. Santos shares insights into her short film Azul, her upcoming feature project, and the filmmakers and works that have shaped her voice. This conversation moves through identity, memory, and the power of cinema to expand how we see ourselves and the worlds we can create.
