LATINOREVIEW’S: CHRONICLES OF A HITMAN

EL MAYIMBE PRESENTS
LATINOREVIEW’S SHORT FILM OF THE MONTH
CHRONICLES OF A HITMAN
BY YURI ALVES

Feburary, a new month, a new short.

Folks, meet 24 year old Brazilian YURI ALVES out of New Jersey. This kid has got an eye for shot selection and for editing. I like how tight the editing was on this.

Professional hitman Xavier (Demis Tambo) is on the run from mysterious assassins, however, his greatest challenge erupts from within his tortured soul. As Xavier desperately searches for sanity, his destiny unexpectedly becomes intertwined with the fate of an innocent woman.

Filmmaker Yuri Alves produces an unrelenting film noir made memorable by its unique cinematography, raw storytelling, and unforgettable conclusion.

Until the next episode in March...

...YO SOY EL MAYIMBE!
