Hide n Seek
Vivek Kamat

Having fun in the time of Social Distancing and that is exactly what we did ! We wore our masks kept our distance and made this film.
We used a treatment of old B – Grade Indian Horror films and tried to replicate the over the top and in your face sound and visual design style.

Stay Home

Tiempo de espera
Mateo Llosa
Peru

Mateo is a 26 year-old Peruvian director based in Lima. When he’s not staring inquisitively into the abyss, he spends his time pitching for ads, trying to watch all the movies because then (in italics) he’ll know, and, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, sits down to ponder how Lucrecia Martel wrote those darn screenplays. He likes to edit and sound design his own work but is slowly learning to let go.
