My role on the project
This project was born in the heart of the Father and led me to speak about a subject as complex as the finitude of life, in an abrupt way. I wrote the cultural project for the Paulo Gustavo Law, a Brazilian cultural support law, and made this short film with funds from Brazil's Ministry of Culture, through the law itself.
Besides being the screenwriter and director, I acted in the film, playing one of the angels. As producer, I selected the crew and the cast and established partnerships with several family constellation institutes. My great realization was understanding that I could not work alone to make this film.
We had three shooting days in Osasco, two in Florianópolis and one in La Plata, Argentina. Argentines and Brazilians took part, united by a cause: to see our neighbor as God sees us. We made the short in a little over a month and brought an audience of 200 people to the cinema for the pre-premiere. It was an intense and truthful production whose goal is to value life.
