When it rains it pours. During tropical storms the streets would often flood in the Dominican Republic. Watching from inside his house as the water rose higher and higher in the streets, Wasly would make paper boats from old newspaper. Then he would let them go in street, watching how they’d float away.

El Barquito Films is an ode to a simpler time. The film production company was founded by Wasly Castillo to make movies about the subtleties of life. Small moments that often become the most important, just the like the paper boat in the street.
