“Muerte” was originally created in Professor Pedro Cristiani’s Fall 2017 Arts Workshop, “Guerrilla Filmmaking.”

“This film is dedicated to my Mexican-American family, who are still grappling with the loss of our beloved José Ricardo Ramírez, my abuelo or ‘Papá.’ In death, he has taught me to learn more about my family and my heritage, and is the inspiration for this story.”—Tessa Ramírez-Keough
