Project

My intention for this workshop is, first of all, to analyze in more detail our characters and the plot we have built. I specially would like to focus in the characters, their relationships and their behaviour so I can feel we have a very strong characters in this film. Not only with the main characters, that I think we have worked a lot, but also with the secondary characters. I think I need the time to discuss a lot with my cowriter, Tomás, because in our day-to-day we have not too much time to spend together because of our full time jobs, so this is a great chance for us to deep in our film. In a second place, my will for this workshop is to work with Tomás in our first draft, in which we are currently working on, because we want to continue applying workshops or grants that require a first version of the script. And finally, I would like to discuss about our projects with the other directors and explore new ideas together. I always belive that other artists can contribute a lot in your work.
