We are a group of Audiovisual Communication students from the Polytechnic University of Valencia. We are very excited about making this short film in which we have worked with all our desire and dedication.
The direction department is the artistic leader of the project. During the preparation phase they help to do the script breakdown,
the planning of the project and they decide the photographic and sound style. They work with all the department heads giving instructions
on how they want the film to be made and they’re the ones who make the final creative decisions.
