Mexican filmmaker Fernando Frias’ latest feature, “I’m No Longer Here,” has garnered a host of awards since it was minted at the Sundance Screenwriters lab. Now streaming on Netflix, the film’s depiction of a nearly extinct countercultural movement framed against an immigration drama has won accolades from Oscar-winning directors Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuaron.
It’s shortlisted to represent Mexico at the Oscars in 2021. The Columbia U alum also directed the entire first season of “Los Espookys” on HBO, from “Saturday Night Live” alums Julio Torres and Fred Armisen.
