Wills
With an unspeakable femicide as a background, two women confront each other and themselves, they wander through a maze made up by memories, dreams, emptiness and conflicts, all from the vulnerability of their own nakedness, reappropriating their bodies in the process, which has been socially and culturally violated.
From this statement, and always haunted by an indecipherable fear, they reflect on the meaning of being a woman nowadays.

Ignacio Ferreyra is a stage director and creator of multimedia and scenic video. He studied acting in Casa del Teatro, in Mexico. He has directed many plays since 2000. With Realidades Asimétricas, his theatrical and audiovisual company, he has written and directed Identities of the void (2019), Concerning will (2020), Fight postcards (2021) and Antisystem (2023).
Wills (Albedríos), which has been selected in more than 60 festivals and has won 48 awards, was his cinematographic debut.
As scenic video developer, multimedia creator and lights designer, he has worked with many important mexican directors.
From 2010 to 2012 he was Lighting, Audio and Multimedia Coordinator in the National Theatre Company in Mexico. He was also Technical Director in the XVIII International Meeting of Transversal Contemporary Scene and Technical Deputy Director of the National Theater Show in 2015.
I don't consider myself a filmmaker, nor did we intend to make a film, we just wanted to translate our stage play into an audiovisual language, taking advantage of the resources that video offered us.
We assumed it as an experiment. And we carried it out, against all odds, because we had something important to say.
