  2) Hi, I’m Guillermo, a media analyst with experience in audiovisual production and digital media. I’m currently working on the pre-production of two independent short films with a strong creative and social impact:
  
  - Raíces Fantasmas (2025) → A migrant faces the dilemma of adapting to an environment that redefines them or clinging to their identity, risking their place in the world.
  
  - Psychological suspense short film – A thriller about a cyber-kidnapping in Mexico, exploring themes of technology, privacy, and vulnerability in the digital world.
  
  I’m looking for volunteers passionate about film, creativity, and storytelling to assist with the pre-production process. I love working with people from different backgrounds, sharing ideas, and learning from each other. In my free time, I enjoy engaging in creative projects, brainstorming new concepts, and exchanging artistic ideas.
