Mirage
A lonely teenager whose daily routine consists of spending his afternoons sleeping away in the library, goes home only to lay in bed and dream restlessly.
The routine continues normally until his attention is turned to a never before seen alluring peer who becomes the subject of another one of his daydreams.
Unfortunately his fantasy turns into a nightmare and he is awoken from his fantasy world and brought back to reality, Where the stillness of time is broken and reality can be embraced.

My name is Samuel Jaime Salinas. I was born in Galveston, Texas in the year 2000. Since then me and my family have moved to more than seven states through 2008, finally landing in southern Illinois, where me and my family have lived ever since.
My interest in film first began in my sophomore year and grew until the end of high school. Once I attended my first film class in college my interest was once again cemented during my second semester in 2019. Funnily enough I finally embraced the title of "filmmaker" because of an essay I wrote about my future career in my winter semester of 2020.
I want to make films that tell unique truths, whether it be someones dreams or what lens they see the world, and I'm not going to quit doing it.
