Director Biography - Hugo González

From a very young age I started to write and draw stories.
As an adult I dedicated myself to acting in theater and wrote some plays.
Later, looking to make films, I opened a small production house (HUGO METRAJES), and began to produce short films.
I consider cinema to be a collaborative experience with a common goal. Thrill the audience.

Director Statement

Some years ago I went through a difficult situation in my life, and in my need I realized the importance of helping each other. It is a value that dignifies the spirit.
This project is born from this reflection.
