About the Film

State Trooper is my first foray back into filmmaking. I wanted to shake the rust off and make something low budget but without having to sacrifice any of the storytelling. Shot on the streets of Chicago and the Southwest suburbs, I wanted to capture the isolation and bleakness of what a late night drive can really feel like with a guilty conscious. Furthermore, living in the suburbs as a Latinx, I always make sure to look out for police because you never know what kind of person is behind that badge. 

​

I really am proud of how this turned out, especially the driving scenes that were shot with every old school film technique to provide the safest method to get it done.
