LOKO
A comedy short for Latinos that are reconnecting to their Native roots.
Yesenia is a sassy Nuyorican bruja, and her fans on TikTok follow her for modern witch tips. When she receives a mystical visit from an Indigenous Taíno spirit, she’s inspired to “live like the ancestors lived.” Now this hood chick is trying to survive, living in a hut on a deserted island beach, in a wacky comedy of errors that is truly Loko.

Loko had its premiere in Miami at the Urban Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best International Short. Loko was selected for screenings at several other festivals nationwide, until the film came home to Puerto Rico where Loko won Best Dark Comedy at the LUSCA Fantastic Film Fest. We continue to screen Loko at festivals around the world.
