Julio Torres Instagram – Cover-Story: Proud 2 Be Julio Torres @spaceprincejulio
To help celebrate our annual 🏳️🌈 Proud 2 Be Issue, We’ve tapped writer-actor-director Julio Torres. One of Latin leading queer figures in Television and film, Julio is hard at work and has just aired his newest show, “Fantasmas.” Julio spins a fantastical six-part tale of when he lost a gold oyster earring. In his search to find the precious object, Julio reflects on the offbeat characters he encounters in introspective, often eerie, and always comedic vignettes set in a dreamy, alternate version of New York City. A kaleidoscope of color and surrealism, Fantasmas weaves together stories of people looking for meaning, purpose, and connection in an increasingly isolating world.

“Fantasmas” translates to “Ghosts” in English. How did you develop that title, and why did you keep it in Spanish? How would you define a “Fantasma”?
I love the sound of the word. But also, I’m very preoccupied with what it means to be a “ghost” in a city – to be visible only sometimes, to be misunderstood, lonely, limited, and hung up on something.
