SAINT DEATH (Working Title) is a narrative feature that follows the transformative journey of Arely, a transgender immigrant in Queens, New York, who rises to become the spiritual leader of a Santa Muerte community. Told through a lyrical, non-linear triptych, the film interweaves three defining moments in Arely’s life: her youth in rural Mexico, her early years navigating survival in New York, and her emergence in middle age as a matriarch within a resilient queer immigrant collective. Blending magical realism with raw emotional truth, SAINT DEATH evokes a distinctly Latin American sensibility—where the spiritual and the everyday coexist in intimate tension. This is a story of identity, faith, and resistance, portraying how one woman reclaims power through ritual, community, and personal mythmaking.
