Filmmaker Statement

"Púrpura Neón" tells the story of Estrella, a seemingly ordinary person navigating anxieties and insecurities that will resonate with everyone. She grapples with the familiar sting of feeling inadequate, hiding the bold light within her. Yet, something profound happens when she embraces her drag persona; Estrella steps out of the shadows and transforms. As her alter ego, she transcends doubt, becoming a blazing symbol of resilience and unyielding spirit. This film isn't a story of seasoned performers born for the limelight. It's a reminder that within us all lies the extraordinary, waiting to be unleashed. We, like Estrella, have faced moments of feeling diminished. "Púrpura Neón" dares us to defy those feelings, proving that true power often emerges from the most unexpected places. It's a testament to the underdog in all of us, the one who fights self-doubt with every step into a brighter, bolder existence.
