Director Statement

The documentary genre in the cinema is the best way to show small realities that sometimes appear hidden in a great transient reality of immediacy and ambiguity, independent cinema has been a bastion in which I have found a form of expression and communication with the spectators, who sometimes dissent, seek new and different content. At the beginning of 2018 I have the opportunity to capture the filming of an independent Mexican film and show how difficult it can be to bring a film to the screen. In the midst of wonderful landscapes and endless days, visual documentary is the best way to present reality, without nuances.
