Michelle Segura's First Year Film

The Creator & Director:

Michelle Segura is a first year MFA student at SFSU studying film. Being a first-gen college student and the first child of immigrant parents, Michelle never thought of art school as a real possibility for herself. It wasn’t until she lost her hard-earned job during the pandemic, that she realized life was too short to let her innate gifts and lifelong dreams waste away in the name of financial stability. She applied to the SFSU film program, got in and decided she could pay off her student loans in another lifetime.

Michelle has always been a visual poet. It is her mission to tell stories that elevate BIPOC voices and experiences. She draws on her own life’s experiences, exploring the beauty of human resilience through themes of death, loss, familial disintegration.

The Art:

Into the night, with infinite love is a story about Maria, an aging immigrant woman from Central America, who lives a solitary life in the US. She is 2,700 miles away from family in Guatemala and longs for a return home.

Maria's son, Guillermo, was her reason for moving across continents; he was her reason for everything she worked so hard for. Maria's life has been laced with an unrelenting grief since he passed away before his 22nd birthday.

In this spiritually-charged short film, veils between worlds begin to dissolve as Guillermo reappears in Maria's life nearly two decades after his passing.

The viewer is left reflecting on the power of love: its ability to transcend the rational, and its boundless capacity for connection, even when it seems severed.
