Pre-Orders are now live for my newest book Antes Que Se Me Olvide (Before I Forget) A deep meditation on brotherhood, familial wounds, and the quiet work of healing across generations, AQSMO is a story told through a queer diasporic Puerto Rican lens. The project weaves memory, image, and reflection into an exploration of what it means to reclaim culture, softness, and self after rupture. It is a love letter to the ones who came before and the ones still finding their way. A personal and political act of remembrance before forgetting takes hold.

Pages: 168 Dimensions: 5×8 in, 13×20 cm Languages: Spanish, English Contents: Four chapters of poetry, Three Prose Interludes, with select illustrations. www.bouyfilms.com/aqsmo

Antes Que Se Me Olvide — Bouy Films

This is probably a huge stretch cause I doubt any of my followers are still active on here BUT on the off-chance that some of you are still here, please consider sharing/donating to my new personal project. The first phase of Antes Que Se Me Olvide—a poetic and personal written work of mine—is complete. Now, I'm expanding the project into its next chapter, and I need your support to bring the photography side of this to life.

I'm raising $2,750 to fund this new phase: inviting in artists, performers, and storytellers to help translate the heart of the book into a rich, multidisciplinary experience. This project lives at the intersection of memory, identity, and cultural inheritance—and your support helps me bring it to life in community.

Every donation, no matter the size, moves us closer to that goal. If you’re able, we’d be honored to have you be part of this journey.

We’ve raised over 51% of our goal and have 8 days left to raise the rest. Please donate and help me make this new healing body of work! 😏😏😏

Hey everyone! I've been away for a while I know. For good reason though! Been building up my production house's portfolio (www.bouyfilms.com) and I'm back at it with an original new short! Would mean the world to me for this to get shared as much as possible. Hoping to break into feature filmmaking soon!
