Mysteria and the Village Spell is my first long-movie. It was been so crazy make all the film. Now that the movie is done, I see that I across so many difficulties and it´s a pride just finishes this movie. We are so focus on several details that takes so many time. In the beginning I thought that I was prepared to make a long-film, because the other, short-film “The Laborer’s Love Story”, was so easy to produce, but this, It was really a big adventure and challenge, I really learned so much with him. I hope that the people enjoy and I said it, it’s just the first.
