THE SHORT FILM "THE DISPENSABLE", DIR. ROBERT MORGALO,  MEANT SO MUCH TO ME FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST, IT WAS FILMED WITH GREAT EFFORT AND CARE IN THE MIDST OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AND SECOND, FOR THE AWARDS AND NOMINATIONS FROM OFFICIAL SELECTIONS THAT IT HAS RECEIVED.

EL CORTOMETRAJE "the dispensable", DIR. ROBERT MORGALO, SIGNIFICÓ MUCHO PARA MÍ POR DOS RAZONES. PRIMERO, FUE RODADA CON GRAN ESFUERZO Y CUIDADO EN MEDIO DE LA PANDEMIA DEL COVID-19, Y SEGUNDO, POR LOS PREMIOS Y NOMINACIONES DE SELECCIONES OFICIALES QUE HA RECIBIDO.

I feel blessed to not only have been able to film during the Covid-19 pandemic but also to have been part of the cast of the award winning short film "The Dispensable" written and directed by Robert Morgalo and produced by Outhouse Production Films. I portrayed the Housekeeper. 

A short film that confronts the disparities of classism, capitalism, equality and human worth in the era of Covid-19. As the world grapples with the new coronavirus that causes a global pandemic, the clash of economic interests and public health comes into focus.
