Director Statement

MIDNA was born from the desire to tell a story about the power of transformation that your surroundings can have when a person feels abandoned. We wanted to create a plural environment in terms of ages and roles. With a strong prominence of music and a vintage and playful aesthetic, almost cartoonish, we placed the characters in a classic Mar del Plata bowling alley. We took as a reference real workers that we observed in different local bars. MIDNA is a short film with a strong feminist perspective, not only because of its main characters, but also because most of the team heads and technicians are women.
