Miguel Alvarez: Kid


Kid

A coming-of-age ritual defines the relationship between a thirteen-year-old boy and his estranged father.


Depending when found, Miguel Alvarez is an engineer, writer, photographer, filmmaker, expatriate, or graduate student. His work has screened throughout the United States, garnering prizes and gathering critical acclaim along the way. In addition to writing and directing, he has produced short films for New York film artist Raul Castillo and recent Sundance/NHK International Filmmakers Award recipient Cruz Angeles. Currently pursuing an MFA in Film Production, he is the recipient of the Robert Rodriguez/Elizabeth Avellán Award and Warren Skaaren Fellowship from the University of Texas at Austin, as well as a Directors' Guild of America Student Award. Much of his time is now spent developing his first feature, Atlantic City, and finishing his latest short film, Mnemosyne Rising. He currently resides in Austin, Texas and is kept awake solely through copious amounts of Big Red.
