AMERICAN DREAMS DEFERRED to premiere on PBS on December 30th at 6am, 2pm and 8pm

My first autobiographical feature documentary American Dreams Deferred, is slated to premiere later this month on PBS stations across the USA! The doc focuses on my trips back home to Fayetteville, NC to see my family during my last year of studies at New York University. It examines the various healt
h, financial, and social issues impacting my Puerto Rican-American family, and how we all persevere through love, humor, and hope.

It is slated to premiere on a program called AMERICA REFRAMED which is on a PBS network called THE WORLD CHANNEL (available in most states including New York, California, Illinois, Florida, and many more) on DECEMBER 30TH 2012 at 6am, 2pm, and 8pm Eastern time! Following the 1 and a half hour doc will be a 30 minute interview between myself and show hostess Natasha G Del Toro. I hope I didn't stutter or use double negatives lol.

SEED STORY selected for 2013 SLAMDANCE FILM FESTIVAL

Held in Utah at the same time as SUNDANCE in January, the festival is considered one of the most competitive and prestigious film festivals in the United States, if not the world. What makes SLAMDANCE unique is that the festival programmers are filmmakers themselves and not industry producers or Hollywood execs. It's truly a festival FOR filmmakers BY filmmakers.


SS-Slamdance-promo

Over 6000 submissions were received this year, and only 100 films (shorts and features) were selected. This means that getting into SLAMDANCE (1.7% acceptance rate) is more difficult than getting into HARVARD! lol. Needless to say, I'm psyched and want to thank everyone for supporting me, including my amazing crew and friends/fans out there. Click below to see an excerpt.

SEED STORY Screening in NYC: Sunday, October 28th!



Come check out the NYC-premiere of SEED STORY at the Brooklyn Workshop Gallery this Sunday!

As a lone dandelion blossoms in an abandoned parking lot, it divides the lives of several miniature people in this experimental narrative short film shot that examines the affects of religious extremism, capitalism, pollution, and fascism in macro perspective. The project took eight months to complete, and required props to be conceptualized and created from junk, hundreds of plastic miniatures to be meticulously
painted by hand, and rigorous ground-level shooting.

Sunday, October 28th
5-10pm
Free and open to the public

SEED STORY is finished. Check out an Excerpt



As a lone dandelion blossoms in an abandoned parking lot, it divides the lives of several miniature people in this experimental narrative short film that examines the role of religion, capitalism, environmentalism, and fascism shot in macro perspective. This excerpt occurs halfway into the 12 minute film, and deals with the subject of capitalism and pollution.

Seed Story is the latest short film created by MTV Movie Award nominated filmmaker William D. Caballero. The project took eight months to complete and required props to be conceptualized and created from junk, hundreds of miniatures to be meticulously painted by hand, and rigorous shooting, usually on the cement ground during hot summer days. The project is currently being submitted to film festivals across the world.

La Familia Figueroa now on Indie Go-Go!


I am proud to announce that my latest project, LA FAMILIA FIGUEROA has entered it’s first ever fundraiser drive. It's a half-hour animated comedy series about three generations of a Latin American family living under one roof.  Set in the fictional urban neighborhood of Conejo Island, the show parodies Latin American and American culture, pop culture trends, television and media, current events, and just trying to get by in today’s America.



We are raising funds to create (3) webisodes that can later become part of our pilot episode. They will also be used to pitch the show idea to various television networks in hopes of having the first ever, animated sitcom that features an all Latino family.

By clicking the link above, you can find out more about the project and how you can help us make this a reality.
