Desert story
(Animation short film, 6 min)
This stop motion short was my Royal College of Art graduation film.
DESERT STORY won the second prize at the Cannes Film Festival Cinéfondation, starting a long journey of awards and selections through the most important film festivals worldwide.
After this I wrote the feature film ROSITA GUZMAN IS ALIVE, set in Mexico and based in the character of “La Mocha”.
