This week Alysha L. Ellis is LIVE from the Cleveland International Film Fest featuring film directors, producers, writers and more. 

Check out this sit down with Set Hernandez, Director  and Pedro, Star of "Unseen" as we discuss the importance of representation, the reasoning behind this film, and mental health. In this episode, we also share personal experiences about the embracing adversity, friendship, and the power of creativity.

Unseen is based on a blind, undocumented immigrant, Pedro faces uncertainty to obtain his college degree, become a social worker, and support his family. Through experimental cinematography and sound, unseen reimagines the accessibility of cinema, while exploring the intersections of immigration, disability, and mental health.
