2008 LVHIFF SANTA MESA

Family Fest | Hawaii PREMIERE

When, 12-year-old Hector loses his mom in a fatal accident, he must leave America to live with his estranged grandmother in the Philippines. Unable to speak Tagalog and communicate with his grandmother, Hector struggles in this unfamiliar country, and soon falls into the wrong crowd. Things turn around for Hector as he befriends Jose, an older photographer who begins to mentor him. When Hector notices that Jose has a mysterious connection with one of his random photography subjects, he attempts to bridge their connection only to trigger a chain of tragic events which threaten his most important friendships. SANTA MESA convincingly captures the beauty and awkwardness of cultural isolation and teen angst amidst the tender sadness of losing a loved family member.
