‘Fervor’
At the 33rd NewFest in New York City, student José Manuel Vélez’s Fervor was awarded a New York Short Jury Award.
Fervor premiered at Palm Springs Shortfest to critical acclaim, and has since gone on to screen at some of the most prominent festivals, such as OUTFEST 2021. Set during a hot summer in a small beach town in Chile, the short follows Tomás as he experiences the fear and joy of burgeoning first love with Benjamín, a boy from a wealthy family.
