The Curve of the Earth

A film by Lorenzo Benitez

Nearly four years after befriending on Facebook someone with the exact same name as him, Lorenzo Benitez ventures to South America to meet the friend he had come to know in writing, but had yet to meet in-person.

Over the course of a few weeks in August 2018, what began in jest evolves in sincerity as the two appraise the surprising significance of their serendipitous friendship.

I love to film things, tell stories, and read on the subway. I'm pretty sure blue whales are my power animal.
