Who do we become
when belonging has a cost?
I’m drawn to people whose grief, loyalties, and convictions pull them in different directions. My films and photographs ask what we hold on to, what we surrender, and what we become willing to justify.

Behind the work
Anderson
Tavares-Garcia
I’m an Afro-Latino writer, director, and photographer born in San Juan. My work grows out of the places I’ve lived, the beliefs I’ve questioned, and a conviction that identity should never be the price of belonging.

Let’s talk about the work.
I’m interested in stories with something at stake, and in the people who can help bring them to life. For writing, directing, photography, or a conversation about an idea, tell me what you’re working on.
