Samuel De Mango
Everett's first award-winning short film that played at over 45 film festivals all around the world, including Swaziland, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Bahamas, Canada, Australia and the United States. His beautiful horror-comedy was shot on super-16mm film in Everett's family home in Bayamon, Puerto Rico.
Trapped in his mother's home, Samuel learns he cannot die because he's made of mango. So Death comes to help him... in the form of a talking mango.
"I wanted to tell a story as if Tim Burton had directed Amelie, and leave the audience wondering wtf did they just watch." -Everett Ray Aponte
