El Dorado

Genre: student film

Description: A 17-minute color USC student narrative film, also shot with a warm reddish-faded aesthetic similar to Felipa, suggesting a shared filmmaker or aesthetic sensibility. The film follows a young person walking under highway overpasses and through neglected urban spaces, while an early scene shows an older man and a child walking together in a lush garden setting. The title evokes the mythical city of gold, and the film seems to explore themes of aspiration, displacement, and the gap between the American dream and urban reality.
