Chiapas has had its problems for many centuries. The different Indian tribes that live there have always fought among themselves.

I think I used comedy as a mechanism if I could make the other kids laugh, I wouldn't get beaten up or teased as much.

The stories that I want to tell, especially as a director, don't necessarily have a perfect ending because, the older you get, the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.
