Slasher

Three friends, Eduardo, Veronica and Paul, meet at a country house to spend a quiet evening watching a movie. However, the atmosphere changes when Eduardo goes out to get another bottle of liquor and does not return; moments later, a piercing scream echoes from outside. While Paul goes in search of him, Veronica discovers, horrified, the silhouette of a stranger in the window: a masked man with a bloody knife in his hand. To survive the night, Veronica and Paul will have to confront the terrifying faceless man in a desperate fight for their lives.

Director Statement

Cinema has always been my way of exploring human nature, emotions, and the complexities of life. Every film I create is not just a story but an attempt to capture the raw essence of human experience — our fears, desires, struggles, and triumphs.

I am drawn to narratives that challenge perceptions and evoke strong emotions. My work often explores themes of isolation, existential reflection, and the blurred line between reality and imagination. I believe that cinema should not only entertain but also provoke thought, question norms, and leave a lasting impact on the viewer.

I am excited to share my vision with audiences and continue exploring the limitless possibilities of filmmaking.
