Get to know the filmmakers:
The idea of the whole project comes from the femicides that have destroyed many lives of families in Mexico. Since we didn’t want to make a realistic film about this topic, we wanted to make a stylized neo-noir action thriller. We love movies or shows with that style, especially when the main character is a Western character with no name. That sparked the motivation for creating this project.
Then we started writing, and eight drafts later, it became a pilot episode. Funny enough, we took ten pages of the pilot and made it into this micro-budget short film. Our plan and motivation is to make that project come to fruition soon.
