The Light Between Us

The Light Between Us is an award-winning short film that explores love, memory, and cultural tradition through the lens of Día de los Muertos. The story follows a father as he prepares an ofrenda, joined by his teenage son in a quiet, intimate moment of reflection and connection. Through ritual, shared food, and storytelling, the film offers a tender meditation on how remembrance keeps those we love close, even across time and loss.

Rooted in Mexican American tradition and told with a poetic, cinematic approach, The Light Between Us celebrates Día de los Muertos not as a moment of sorrow, but as an act of love and continuity. The film has been recognized on the festival circuit, earning awards for Best Microfilm, Best Song, and Best Young Actor at the Vegas Movie Awards.
