Just Me and You is a heartfelt father and daughter drama that touches on undocumented immigrant families crossing the Mexican border in America. This live action short film premiered at Berlinale 2019 where it won the Crystal Bear for Best Short Film, then played at numerous high profile film festivals including Palm Spring ShortFests, Odense International Film Festival and Regard Saguenay International Short Film Festival where it won the top prize.

8-year-old Eva and her father go to Mexico aboard an 18-wheeler. What was supposed to be a father-daughter road trip becomes an eye opening experience and an unexpected journey of deception.

Just Me and You has gained distribution through h264 whose recent films Marguerite and Fauve were nominated for 2019 Academy Awards® in the live action short film category.
