Year

Format

Feature Film

A propulsive action thriller deeply rooted in Mexican culture and iconography, with a vivid, saturated color palette that ran through every location. Custom graffiti murals were painted directly onto location walls as part of the design, and a large range of props including weapons and cultural symbols were built in house. Myra also oversaw practical special effects throughout production, including rigged gunshots through walls, ax work, and live blank fire sequences on set.
