Description

After years of being perpetually stoned, drunk, and jobless in the hood, Chelo Chavez needs to get his shit together. At least that’s what his girlfriend, Angie, says. After emerging unscathed from multiple gunshots delivered by a mysterious man in a flower truck, Chelo discovers that he has superhuman powers—but only when he’s drunk or high. With the help of his homies, he embarks on a mission to test his new abilities and uncover his own origin story. We are excited to present the first three episodes of this digital series from director Carlos López Estrada.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
