Like many dreams, the contours of what would become the film production house Desobediencia Perfecta were born at 3:00 a.m.Vanessa Martínez, 17, and Javier Martínez (no relation), 18, two students in Guatemala City, Guatemala, stayed up talking one night in April of last year about their love of film.
Together with a mutual friend, Sebastián Aldana, 18, they founded Desobediencia Perfecta, whose mission is to explore the stories of queer and lower-middle-class Guatemalans.
The members of the collective are scattered across Guatemala, and around the world, so much of their collaboration takes place online.
“We explored the entire theater that day, all its corners.
“What we did the most that day though was hug each other.” (All interviews have been translated from Spanish.)
