Only Kids See Ghosts is my latest short film. It has been selected for screening at three official film festivals and won two awards so far.

Written, Directed, Produced by Anthony Alyassi

The short film Only Kids See Ghosts is about a Mexican-American immigrant who cannot discern what is real or fictitious due to sleep deprivation. It is an insight into the rampant racism and prejudice faced by the Latino community.
