Mary-Rebekah and Romario Reyes (Pt II - Spoiler Episode)

VIEW to the U: An eye on UTM academic community

This is, once again, a VIEW to the U first: it’s a Part II continuation of another episode with guests Mary-Rebekah Reyes and her brother Romario, just in time for Halloween to talk about their short horror film Short Drop. It is audio from the chat with them in September 2023, however it contains some spoilers on their film Short Drop. So, if you don’t want the plot of the film ruined for you, please stop listening and go and watch the film now: it is available through Liquid Matter Studios’ YouTube Channel; link below. We talk a bit more about Trinbagonian folkloric characters and they also divulge some technical and creative insights that make that final shot of the film so iconic.
