Overview
Documentary feature premiered in the NEXT category at Sundance 2026. Director William David Caballero composites decades of home-video footage and audio interviews with animation - hand-crafted miniatures, hand-drawn 2D, and 3D motion capture - to recreate his Puerto Rican family's history after losses. The miniature/stop-motion segments are one technique among several used in this hybrid documentary, not a fully stop-motion film. Studio: Colibri Creative Media, co-produced with Latino Public Broadcasting and ITVS. Source: theydreamfilm.com/team.
