Director Statement

The Last Coffee coincides with a moment in my life that I feel is an engine ignition linked to the dream that I always had of making a personal film project, but i hadn't got the opportunity before. I think that this awakening is reflected in the narration through the protagonist who is discouraged, locked in a routine, but a situation occurs that puts him to the test and it is nothing less than trying to save the life of a man who is going to commit suicide. And from trying to save him, he can also somehow save himself. I seek to tell stories of marginalized characters in sordid, dark places, where a light bulb of hope suddenly lights up. We try to represent this search throughout the short film in all its aesthetic-narrative aspects. The directors that inspire me are the classics James Cameron, Brian De Palma, Rob Reiner. In Argentina Damián Szifrón, and as an international emerging Italian director Alice Rohrwacher.
