The Connecting Melodies

We are more than excited to submit this application. This scholarship that has crossed our paths is one of those opportunities that all of us creative minds dream about.

William Suarez, born in Mexico City immigrated to Canada in 2000. Since then he has been following his creative intuition, which has led him to a rewarding career in photography. He is now beginning to express himself through film and documentary filmmaking.

Clayton Gray, Canadian born, has his eyes turned outward to the world. Through his music and foreign languages, he studies the world’s various cultures deeply in order to understand how we can better celebrate our diversity and create fellowships that span cultural barriers. Both of us are fluent in English and Spanish.

Finding this opportunity to first explore, and then share the color, the character, the culture and the experience of Mexico’s Día De Los Muertos has inspired us to create the documentary that you will see in this submission. We hope you will be as inspired by it as we were in creating it.
