Raise the Bar!

"Sam is a Chilean high school student who dreams of being Chile’s first Olympic gold medallist in weightlifting. Against all odds, her “never give up” attitude brings her the opportunity to train with her idol at a High-Performance Center. There, she'll meet new friends and rivals who'll help her understand what it takes to grow as an athlete and as a person."

This is a promotional teaser for my next graphic novel, Raise the Bar. The story originally began as a series project, which was later acquired for development by Netflix. After two years of work, Netflix decided not to greenlight the project, so I rewrote the story and pitched it as a graphic novel. It will be published in the US by Dial Books / Penguin Random House in 2026.

I directed the teaser, and production was handled by a talented team of artists and animators. It’s currently in post-production and will be released ahead of the book launch.
