Mantequilla
Abstract
“Mantequilla” is a short film about two construction workers stumbling across their strange coworker. One worker forgets his car keys, and so the men trail back to the construction site to find them. They stumble across this peculiar fellow who comes off as weird and maybe even a threat; however, as the saying goes, “Never judge a book by its cover.” This is a story about an outcast of outcasts, a young man who is looked at negatively and never given the time of day, who in reality is a man of heart and kindness. This film aims to destroy stereotypes and give stereotypical roles real stories and real feelings. This piece is directed by Julian Glasthal, and written by Glasthal and Nico Raimont. The film stars Hansel Porras Garcia as Mantequilla, Matthew Parr-Alvarado as Xavier, and Brandon Baez as Gonzales. The sound design was done by David Cuervo, and Nico Raimont did the score. The film was produced by Joshua Miller. Inspiration for this piece is credited to Spike Lee, Steven Sondheim, the director’s parents and Donald Glover’s FX television show “Atlanta”.
