Project

During my stay at Faberllull, I will be developing two feature length movie projects that I have been working on for some months. One of them, "Catorce de marzo", written alongside director Alberto Gross Molo, is a story about two siblings who face a complicated decision. The other, "Riure", with director Jordi Boquet Claramunt, is a film about a family who works in a circus. I envision this experience as a good opportunity to keep working in both scripts, and to find the time and space to peacefully think, write and create.
