Alx Through the Labyrinth

"Alx Through the Labyrinth" will take a dive into the Alice In Wonderland-like reality of contracting COVID-19; from the symptoms of vertigo to sensory loss and the labyrinth of seeking treatment. The animated, hybrid docufiction short film will be based on the real life experiences of two Latinx artists, Daniel de Jesús and Kristal Sotomayor, that tested positive for the coronavirus in 2020. The film will use magical realism to ground the story as the protagonist Alx, a nonbinary Latinx service worker, falls into the deep rabbit hole of seeking treatment for a potentially deadly virus.
