Oscar Flores is a fourth–year undergraduate student majoring in Film and Television. Born in Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico, he attended three semesters at the University of Guadalajara to major in performance arts. However, at the age of 21, he was offered permanent residency in The United States and moved to California to pursue his dream of becoming a filmmaker. He transferred from American River College in Sacramento, California, after being admitted to the University of California Los Angeles. His concentration is on Directing, and he focused on writing latine–oriented stories about mental health. He is currently working on his thesis short film, which also functions as his research project and narrates the story of a young immigrant woman who encounters a border patrol agent who questions the motives of her journey. Oscar’s film intends to raise some questions and critique the current lack of immigration policy that can support black, indigenous, and people of color coming from the southern border. By incorporating magic-realism elements found in Mexican literature, Oscar expects to convey on screen the mental burden people go through on this journey.
