About Alessandro M.

Born and raised in a small town in the Italian Alps, Alessandro studied at the University of Bologna’s Drama, Art and Music Studies (DAMS) program—the first Italian degree to focus entirely on visual arts and performance. In Bologna, he directed his first short film Dog from Hell, which was produced by Universal Studios and broadcast nationally. A year later, he attended U.C. Santa Barbara as an exchange student, where he wrote his final thesis on the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. In 2004, he moved to Dublin, Ireland and became a Final Cut Pro certified trainer. There he managed an Apple Training Center, while teaching film editing at other institutions, such as NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and Filmbase. He also co-founded the production company Cacti Films, serving as creative director. It was during this time that Alessandro developed a relationship with documentary filmmaking as a means of questioning, challenging and bringing awareness to subjects of social relevance. In 2008, he directed Children of Manila and The Cemetery People, short documentaries that depict the hardships of life on the streets, and how shelter and education can help. Both films won numerous national and international film festival awards, and were featured at various events around the globe. Since 2011, he has resided in Mexico City, where he works as a director and editor.

About Litay O.

En el 2011 fundé junto con un amigo cineasta y una amiga antropóloga una productora autónoma "Tlazocamati Producciones". El primer documental que rodamos fue sobre la vida de una mujer partera y desde entonces buscamos rodar documentales con el mismo espíritu que impulsó la creación de nuestra productora. Rodar documentales sustentados por intensas investigaciones haciendo uso de herramientas etnográficas y privilegiando una mirada comprensiva y crítica de la realidad. Queremos abordar todas aquella parcelas de la realidad que permanezcan en la oscuridad o que generen incomprensión con el propósito de brindarles una halo de luz. Nuestra línea esta muy centrada en el tema de la mujer, la vida cotidiana, la espiritualidad pero buscamos cada vez más ampliar nuestro abnico temático.En el 2011 estudié el master de antropología visual en la Universitat de Barcelona para afinar la metodología etnográfica y combinarla con las herramientas audiovisuales.

About Othoniel C.

Soy un realizador audiovisual y tengo 29 años de edad. Estudié Artes Audiovisuales y desde que salí de la escuela en 2006 hasta el 2009 me dediqué a levantar proyectos personales. Apartir del 2009 comencé a trabajar en la TV comercial como Editor Senior. Esto me separó de mi pasión por el documental, sin embargo en 2011 entré a trabajar a Milenio TV, un canal de noticias en México, lo que me acercó al mundo del noticiero y un poco al documental Actualmente radico en la Ciudad de México y estoy produciendo un documental sobre una Subasta de Plantas que yo mismo recrearé para acelerar los procesos del mercado y de la economía actual. Quiero revisar e indagar en temas como el valor de las cosas y la comercialización de seres vivos. Me interesa observar el afecto y el posible apego que el ser humano ejerce sobre su entorno inmediato y como esto es el motor de sus actos. Estoy interesado en revisar la delgada línea que separa a la narrativa del documental y los formatos de la ficción.
