DESCRIPTION: Closer to Bottom is the story of Adrian (Orion Landa) and Rafael (Brian Villalobos), two brothers who deal with the loss of their father in decidedly different ways. While Adrian internalizes his sense of loss, often while drinking and talking with his Tío Tomás (Jesse Borrego), brother Rafael acts out, often placing Adrian in difficult situations. But when Adrian’s love interest Rosa (Jeannie Carter Cruz) shows interest in his good-for-nothing brother, the tension is more than Adrian can take.Directed by Jesse Borrego. Written & Produced by Alex Avila.
