SCENES FROM OBLIVION
Spawned from a strict Catholic upbringing, Tommy has grown into a young man set in his ways. As he reconciles with family friend Misha Bravo, a manic depressive and independent-thinker whom he has been enamored with since his teens, Tommy is thrust into her opposing mind-frame and punk philosophy.
BACKGROUND:
Intended as Mike Cuenca’s debut feature, the film was never completed and in 2024 was recut into a short film. The project was the launchpad for the popular cult web series “Oblivion”.
The story was inspired by Cuenca’s Cuban-American upbringing plus love of punk rock. His real-life parents play Misha’s grandparents.
