Miguel Angel Ferrer’s film, "The Shadow of the Sun," tells the story of Leo, who gave up his dreams to care for his brother Alex after their parents died. Alex's aspiration to enter a musical contest aims to revive hope in Leo. Ferrer's hesitation mirrored Leo's reluctance to embrace change until he resolved to create the film after questioning why he didn't have a film at a festival in 2021. The film celebrates perseverance and was inspired by Ferrer's trip to Venezuela, where he desired to showcase his homeland.
During the closing night of the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival in 2021, Ferrer asked himself, "Why don't I have a film here?" The answer was always the same: "It was because I hadn't made up my mind to do it. The only obstacle was me."
The film, "The Shadow of the Sun," tells the story of two brothers, Leo and Alex, who navigate the challenges of life and pursue their dreams amid adversity.
Inspired by his 2020 trip to Venezuela, Ferrer's film highlights themes of perseverance and the complexities of familial relationships in the face of loss.
