Director Statement

"MOV_20202808" was made on the framework of the "Lakes in One Take Challenge" of the DETOUR - Festival de CIne Nuevo (New Cinema Festival, Uruguay, 2020) withing 48hs, including pre -production, shooting and post-production. The shortfilm was one of the ten chosen to be a part of the official selection and was wxhibited on the festival. This is my first work at directing fiction outside the student framework and a proof that the found-footage technique, can still be effective and give us goosebumps if used correctly.
