The Perfect Shot (2009)
Film (short) by Adam Schlachter (Comedy and Romance) Director A young woman is trailing a couple at the park, intensely watching them though her camera. As she's about to secretly take their photo a young man appears from nowhere, unabashedly commenting on what she is doing. At first determined to ignore him, she immediately forgets her resolve when he remarks on how happy the couple looks. This sets into motion a tug-of-war exchange between the two: while she holds the firm belief that relationships have become obsolete, he repeatedly challenges her jaded point of view with a striking optimism on love. In the end, she is forced to make a choice: continue to vicariously live through the subjects she photographs, or open herself up to the possibilities of love... which could be sitting right next to her on the park bench.

We Are All Latino (2008)
Film (short) by Adam Schlachter (Documentary) Director, Writer, Producer, Self The notion of what it is to be Latino is explored through a discourse of passionate statements and reflexive images by eight emerging Latino filmmakers, Adam Schlachter, Anthony Nardolillo, Carlos Gallardo, Fanny Veliz, Iris Almaraz, Katrina Elias, Ruben Obregon, and Shawna Baca, all having distinguished, diverse backgrounds. From where they were born, to where they grew up, to their favorite Latino dance styles, to their favorite Latino films, to exploring their dreams, desires, struggles, and passions, to individually defining what it is to make their own, personal films, and what they hope to achieve and influence through their films with their culture, audience, and self-identity. A lyrical and expressive juxtaposition of vignettes embraces the differences within their own ethnicity to define Latino as different colors from different places coming together. It further suggests indirectly that perhaps to be Latino is the same as to be a human being. Written by Adam Schlachter
