To apply for a work visa in the United States is to set out on a biblical odyssey through a glacial, bureaucratic process renowned for its voracious appetite for complex and expensive paperwork. About a dozen years ago, comedian Julio Torres began that process. And, to help make ends meet as he waited — there is a lot of waiting — Torres, who is from El Salvador, took just about any menial job he could find.

He served as a translator for parent-teacher conferences and worked as a personal assistant for busy professionals in New York City, where he still lives. At one point he interviewed for a magician’s assistant position only to find out that his potential employer was not a magician but a saxophone player whose gimmick consisted of having a plastic phallus pop out of his instrument. “He had it in a case next to him and he didn’t show it to me,” says Torres of the penis sax, with some regret. He did not get the job.

My profile of Julio Torres is in the LA Times.

I saw Julio Torres's movie Problemista and it reminded me of this clip from his interview with Ziwe (filmed around the same time that the movie was announced to be in production so this must have been on his mind) where he talked about some themes I thought were present the film and kinda puts some of the choices made with the script into a neat context.

Like he says here that he hates paperwork and you could really feel that in Problemista, but it's not just paperwork, it's like... Alejandro has to come to the US literally because a drop-down menu forces him to, and he spends his days battling visa requirements, phone bills, predatory bank fees, filing software, and all of this other bullshit that isn't actually helping anyone. Pointless roadblocks. Things are just arbitrarily more difficult than they need to be, especially for the most vulnerable (it's clear that there are plenty of privileged people for whom none of this is an issue) who have no choice but to put up with it.

I think that's why it was so important that (spoiler) the film had a happy ending. When everything finally works out it was such a relief and I just thought to myself... man, wouldn't it be great if everything really just were that easy? Look, the databases are finally synced up, nothing needs to be complicated anymore, and they're finally free from the bullshit. Real life should be like that. And I thought that was a very neat way to frame a story about immigration.

#Julio Torres #Problemista #Also it gave me major Girl Asleep (2016) vibes and that's one of my favorite movies!
