"Cacique del Monte" stands as a heartfelt homage, a love poem, to Colombia — a land of ancestral gods, enigmatic beauty, and mystique. Filming on location, amidst active emerald mines and fierce landscapes, was as challenging as it was fulfilling. It was a privilege to tell this remote story within its actual ecosystem, capturing its unvarnished authenticity. - Mateo Martinez

"Once we do decide to look, to bear witness to the darkness beneath the surface, it becomes very difficult for us to look away again – to go on as before."
Carter Linsley is an award-winning writer, director, editor, cinematographer, and sound designer based in Denver, CO. His film 'Love' earned him distinctions at New Visions & Voices for Best Cinematography and Best Sound Design & Editing, where it took 2nd-place overall. His work as an editor ranges from music videos to short films, including the Cannes-premiering 'Mirage' starring Devon Bostik and Dylan Gelula. Carter is also a certified sound engineer and mastering technician, having studied sound at a specialized college in London before completing his Film & Television major at Tisch School of the Arts.
"Though our film is about many things, it is fundamentally held together by a deep fear that, in a world which constantly seeks to incentivize reductionism and division amongst us, the cardboard-thin barriers that we willingly construct to form and maintain our own fragile senses of identity are, in fact, the single largest threat facing the preservation of meaningful human connection today." - Carter Linsley
