FILM MAKING/ACTING

Cancer is a comedy drama inspired by true life experiences. It showcases the challenging life journey of quirky and biracial oncology resident Victor Fuego, who drops out of Harvard radiology residency to join a radiation oncology residency at a Spa-styled bureaucratic Cancer Center. Raised by two enigmatic women – an Indian grandma and a Hispanic mother, adorable Victor is wild and unruly yet naïve and vulnerable. He loves riding horses in the wild, swimming in rivers, and his cancer patients love him. However, he is constantly considered a misfit and is misjudged by medical professionals who fail to fathom his idiosyncrasies, compassion, and unconventional intelligence. With its diverse cast, Cancer conveys episodic educational and humanitarian messages that are very relevant to cultural discussions nationally in US healthcare. It highlights the struggle of a resident in midst of corporate hierarchy with its relatable characters. Cancer is a tale of faith, service and uplifting achievement of Victor who must transform into an astute, suave, and competent radiation oncologist, transcending barriers of passive aggressive medical hierarchical coercion and personal chaos.
