MY PART - Writer, Producer, Director Of Photography, Editor
The short film, which won “Best Young Talent Film” at Diagonale 2017, follows the story of Sofia on her birthday. As she reflects on a lost love, the young woman resolves to take a big leap into the future. Sofia's fondness for her hometown of Buenos Aires and her ailing grandmother, who suffers from dementia, gradually help her find the courage to pursue the independence she so desperately desires.
The story behind the creation of our film is an unlikely one. It all started with a chance encounter in a hostel room in Hong Kong. My collaborator and I were strangers back then, but we quickly discovered a shared passion for filmmaking. With no budget, Santiago Rodriguez Duran and I had to rely on our own resources to make the film a reality. It was a risky move, but we believed in our vision. After months of hard work, we submitted the film to the Diagonale and were thrilled to be awarded for it.
