The cortometraje/short documentary "La Cámara" was directed and produced by John in Tecún Úman, Guatemala and Tapachula, México, and it focused on the navigation of the Suchiate River by those who cross it on rafts or cámaras in search of safety and a better life. 

Directed and produced alongside community members and migrants from Central America, the documentary was principally shot by Rene Soza who also served as the Director of Photography for 500 Years (2017); it was edited by ​Koki Ortega (Rehilete Post-Production), whose short form editorial work has been recognized for an Academy Award for best short.

 

During production, the documentary involved community members in direction, reflecting a collaborative process of acompañamiento. The film's crew recognize the people of Tecún Úman as active collaborators, producers, and supporters, and thank Brenda in particular for her support.
