“XOLO” is a short film that celebrates the Day of the Dead tradition through the story of a deep friendship between Jorge and his best friend, Rogelio. Inspired by the spirit of Mexican muralism, every background was painted by hand on canvas, and over 2,000 frames were created using oil paint on paper, one by one. The entire film was made without the use of any artificial intelligence.
