The scorpion´s tale

A convict awaiting death who doesn’t jump at an opportunity for rescue doesn’t make sense. Unless he has another plan...

Director Jhosimar Vasquez was born in Cusco, Peru. He was raised by his parents and four older brothers, moving from one country to the next, before arriving in Mexico City. Living in Mexico was a big change in Jhosimar's life. He was young, but instantly absorbed the new environment. He observed how culture and people were different from place to place, but also had similar desires and needs. Jhosimar's goal when writing and directing films is to portray realistic, heartfelt characters in real-world scenarios. He focuses on expressing realism artistically and in a way that anyone can feel a connection to the film. Today Jhosimar lives in Los Angeles making films that tell the stories of people who live imperfect lives, lives that are as close to reality as his own personal story.
