Experiencing Day of the Dead in its home Mexico has been a long time dream of ours. Not only because I love cultural experiences, and any chance I can have to dress up, but because we grew up in Southern California, Mexican culture is such a part of our home and our lives.

When Visit Guadalajara invited us down to one of Mexico's biggest cities for the experience, we jumped at it! Watch the film below:

Tech Specs:
This film was shot handheld on our Red Gemini camera
