Director Xavier Ybarra was approached by Music Artist Alé to direct his single Niña Bruja several weeks ago. The song is about a musician who's been placed under a spell by a bruja (played by Priscilla Jaramillo) who practices the dark arts. The concept of the video starts when the musician confronts the bruja's spell and try's to break from it with his music. While the musician plays his heart out to over power the spell, the bruja plays her own tune as a seductress. In the end, the musician is battling to save his soul. While the bruja works to steal it. Director Xavier Ybarra says, "It's a high concept video and is geared to be sexy and entertaining. It's interesting how the idea for the video came about. As I was writing the script, I was inspired by a photo hanging on the wall in the cafe I was sitting in.

The simple light reflections, on the glass in the picture frame blending over the image, sparked the concept for the video. I love the way the imagination works. From storyboard to screen, it all went according to plan on set Saturday. Now it's all about post-production."

Director Xavier Ybarra and his team (Anthony Bloodworth and George Ohan) filmed the music video Saturday, October 11th, 2014. Now the Director will spend the next couple weeks editing. Director Xavier Ybarra says, "What I love about editing, is that it's exactly like directing for me. After directing the story on set, I must now find the direction the story is to unfold for the audience. Even though each shot was storyboarded and carefully planned, everything changes in the editing room. There's an unlimited amount of possibilities on the direction you can take the project and that's exciting." The video is to be released October 25th, 2014. 

The official Behind-The-Scenes photos and videos coming soon.
