Director Statement

ES: Este es mi primer cortometraje animado, y es la tesis de mi carrera de animación 2D. Es una obra hecha enteramente por mi, sonido inclusive.
El corto viene acompañado, hasta ahora sólo en Buenos Aires, con una instalación tamaño gigante de un muñeco inmenso de la protagonista, escenografía, iluminación y música. Las esculturas están hechas con tela, papel de diario, cartón, alambre y yeso.
Sin embargo, el corto es autoconclusivo y puede apreciarse sin la presencia de la instalación.

EN: This is my first animated shortfilm, and it's the graduation film of my career in animation 2D. The entire project is made by my self, sound inclusive.
The film is accompanied, just in Buenos Aires for now, with a huge installation. This consists in a giant doll of the protagonist, scenografy, illumination and music. The sculptures are made with fabric, newspaper, paperboard, wire and plaster.
However, the shortfilm is self-conclusive and it can be apreciated without la installation.
