Writer Statement

The BUS is the narrative, metaphorical and audiovisual clash of myth against reality, from the perspective of horror.
The same event seen through the eyes of science, the media and legend, where ancient and personal secrets meet trying to solve a mystery that lies deep within the natural and supernatural origins, through metaphors that illustrate the dichotomy of a legendary horror with the terror that we experience today in our country (Mexico)
