Overview
- Co-directed by Rauw Alejandro and creative director Martin Seipel, the film centers bomba music and vejigantes as expressions of Afro‑Puerto Rican identity.
- Shot on iPhone 17 Pro with RAW capture, a 16x zoom range, slow‑motion, and low‑light sequences that Seipel said pushed the device to its limits.
- Ahead of the premiere, Rauw and Seipel made a surprise appearance at Apple’s Antara flagship in Mexico City to discuss the project with fans.
