The Celebrity Penthouse

Sequel to the documentary I AM THE QUEEN. This new film follows the lives of Julissa, Jolizza, Bianca and Ginger Valdez, a year after they participated in the 2010 Cacica Pageant, held at Humboldt Park, Chicago. The film explores further their lives as young transgender latinas living in Chicago, and their relationships with their families, friends and society.

The main characters are a boy and a girl, who appear sometimes as lovers, sometimes as characters from a labor protection film.

A one-hour documentary hosted by Tony Curtis based on Kenneth Anger's book series of the same name, detailing scandals and gossip from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Later followed by a television series also hosted by Curtis.

In 2019, after finishing his debut feature, immersing himself in a sick existential crisis as he sees how his work little by little becomes another consumer product, an independent filmmaker dedicates himself to documenting with a camera his experiences at international festivals where his movie is shown. The sudden appearance of the global epidemic will not only cause the cancellation of its theatrical release, but will lead him to be confined with his family in a house lost in the middle of nature, completely away from the noise of civilization. From the review of the filmed material, from everything that this loneliness proposes to him, from the confusion of the pandemic reality and from the vertigo of his own fears and uncertainties as a newborn artist, the possibility of making a new film emerges as a lifeline. Without direction or determined purpose, this project begins, which is discovered in the process itself as a confrontation between the very meaning of cinema and the phantasmagoria that emanates from the decay of that promise of a new world that has already become, inexorably, an image of himself.
