    paper Abuelita Caza Vampiros

    A student Short Film made during my studies at VFS, Classical Animation Program. Animated in Toon Boon Harony.
    Sinpsis: In the middle of the night, a vampire breaks into the home of a Latina grandmother, expecting an easy victim. Instead, he encounters a fearless and resourceful woman who refuses to back down. With the unexpected help of her loyal pug, the grandmother turns the situation into a bizarre and humorous battle for survival. Blending humor with eerie atmosphere, Abuelita Caza Vampiros is a tropical gothic comedy inspired by family memories, where courage, instinct, and a touch of absurdity transform an ordinary night into an unforgettable confrontation.
