When the Hollywood-type auteurs converge on Park City for Sundance later this month, the renegade Hollywood-type auteurs will converge on Park City at THE YARROW and Salt Lake City at the University of Utah for Slamdance 2024. Enter, Legend of El Cucuy’, a horror short.

Legend of El Cucuy is a cautionary tale. Laura and her husband Carlos are permissive parents, and their choice to raise their daughter Isabel without discipline has resulted in a very rude, disobedient child. Carlos is having doubts about their behavioral strategy, but Laura is determined to make different choices from their parents. Against his better judgment, Carlos tells Laura about El Cucuy’s origins, and that same night, El Cucuy pays the family a visit.

Legend of El Cucuy is directed by Cynthia García Williams.
