Case Esparros
Birthday: December 27, 1995
Case Esparros is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker and visual artist whose work often explores fractured memory, longing, and expressionistic portraits of solitude. A graduate of ArtCenter College of Design, Esparros has developed a deeply personal unique visual language, blending experimental and narrative forms of cinema to create films that feel intimate, uncanny, and emotionally resonant with his DIY film production label "Dancing Fireman Pictures." Through his films, Esparros creates an otherworldly mythology full of deeply fascinating outsider characters and eerie expressions of escapism. His short works have screened widely and garnered major praise in underground film circles for their sensitivity, surreal tone & world building. His no budget debut feature, a vivid gutter collage of the Christ story, King Baby (2019), was followed by his second feature The Absence of Milk in the Mouths of the Lost (2023), a haunting expressionist lyrical portrait of disconnection, grief and desire. Esparros continues to build an oeuvre rooted in handmade aesthetics, inner risk taking, and a commitment to storytelling as a form of personal and collective liberation. He lives and works in Highland Park, where he remains an active part of the Los Angeles creative community.
