Palomita
The film traces the journey of Jorge “Thriller” Gómez, a graffiti writer and brand designer, moving through the heart of Latinx culture at the Alameda Swapmeet, Downtown LA, and Inglewood. Woven into these landscapes are the women who shape his community and his world. At its center, a poem unfolds—an intimate meditation on fatherhood, on raising a daughter, and on the weight of expectations and trials that await them. Through love and resilience, the film reveals a simple truth: whatever comes, we endure it together.
