Marisol
Written by José Rivera
Directed by Fabiola Arias
Brooklyn is a war zone, coffee is extinct, the moon has disappeared, and angels are trading in their wings for machine guns. As a celestial battle against an old and senile God brews in heaven, a rebellion spills over New York City. In the midst of the apocalyptic world she has been thrown into, Marisol - a young copywriter for a Manhattan publisher - ends up finding herself on the streets, homeless and with nowhere to go in a world she no longer recognizes. Met by vagrants and vagabonds at every turn, she must salvage what hope remains amidst the rubble of the apocalypse while trying to protect the lives of her friend and herself.

“We can't live life as if nothing’s changed. To live in the sweet past. To look backwards for our instructions. We have to reach up, beyond the debris, past the future, spit in the eye of the sun, make a fist, and say no, and say no, and say no, and say… no.”
