Aleshia Mueller at Reel Nomad Productions is producing "Oswaldo," a feature length documentary film about Quechua Indian and Ecuadorian master painter and sculptor Oswaldo Guayasamín (1919-1999). Guayasamín’s work is characterized by human figures with oversized hands and expressions of pain, anguish, despair, and rage. It evokes strong emotional responses and gives a voice to the voiceless by raising awareness about the abuse of indigenous and underrepresented people. Guayasamín's work is well-known throughout all of Latin America, but Cuba was special for him. He admired the people, had a house there, taught art classes, and was friends with Fidel Castro. Guayasamín painted more than 800 portraits throughout his career, four of which were of Castro.

Producer Aleshia Mueller and Cinematographer David Schnack recently traveled to Cuba to work on "Oswaldo," This is an important part of Guayasamín’s story.
