"Admissions" is a character driven, feature-length creative nonfiction film exploring the highly personal stories of four undocumented college students: Blanca, Charlie, Viridiana and Jong Min. Trapped at the intersection of education policy and broken immigration systems, the obstacles these students face—financial, legal and psychological—are presented, demonstrating the dehumanizing effects of marginalization and unequal educational access. Featuring experimental sound design, unsynchronized imagery, and a sophisticated metaphorical language, "Admissions" creates a space in which new forms of struggle and dialogue emerge.
