¡Yo Soy Sally, La Loca! is a short breakup comedy about Sally Garcia’s quest to get her lover back by any means necessary. When Sally Garcia’s longtime partner leaves her to start a family with his undocumented immigrant girlfriend, Sally goes to extreme measures to get her man back… even if that means trying to get his new lover deported!

This story is inspired by a true event that really happened in my family… though modified for comic effect!

In today’s political climate, amid rhetoric of border walls and the separation of families, this story feels more vital than ever. How could a Mexican-American woman deport a fellow Latina over a man? As issues like immigration and deportation have become national crises, I keep going back to this uniquely tragicomic tale.

AS A MEXICAN-AMERICAN FILMMAKER, I WANT TO DEPICT LATINX PEOPLE AS REAL, COMPLICATED HUMANS.

And boy is Sally complicated! She’s a total mess, devastated by her breakup and utterly unable to confront her new reality. Sally is a uniquely flawed character in the relentless pursuit of one goal: to get her ex back at all costs. And we root for her through all her crazy schemes… until she goes one step too far.

But will Sally open her eyes and see the monster that her heartbreak has turned her into before it’s too late to undo the damage she has left in her wake?
