About the Creator

"I make films about the kind of patience the desert teaches — the kind I had to be taught."

Joel Carreras works out of Marfa, TX. Slow-walked landscapes, characters who say less than they mean.

The current cycle is a multi-part exploration of fortune, debt, and the way American violence settles into landscape — generated end-to-end on Cinema Studio v3.4 with reference boards drawn from a decade of personal photography.
