The original poster by Dan Evans for "JUNIOR TU PAPÁ," a 16-minute documentary short film co-written by Camilo and Daniel Díaz who also directed the film.
JUNIOR TU PAPÁ is a 16-minute documentary short film directed by Daniel Díaz and co-written with Camilo Garzón. In this ode to fútbol and Colombia’s Caribbean region, Daniel — a Colombian-British filmmaker — recalls his first memory of the sport he loves: the 1993 championship final between Junior de Barranquilla and América de Cali that he watched on a VHS tape with his father in London. Through conversations between Daniel, his father and two uncles, JUNIOR TU PAPÁ pieces together fragments of waning memory to collectively remember a time in Colombian history when fútbol was a national obsession. A distraction from the relentless violence the country faced while Colombia’s national team was considered one of the best teams in the world. For this documentary short film, in addition to co-writing it, Camilo co-produced, story edited, sound designed with Daniel Freeman, and did sound engineering and re-recording mixing for the film.
The documentary film premiered at the 2024 True/False Film Festival in Columbia, Missouri.
