Sebastián del Amo, director de Cantinflas y miembro de Milagro Films
Sebastian Del Amo talked to PRODU about his recent production Cantinflas and his beginning to the Milagros Filmss roster.For the Mexican director, working with Milagros Films “is an important opportunity for personal growth. Advertising has a format that I find very interesting, since you face the challenge of telling a story in a minute or twenty seconds, with very varied perspectives and styles.”Besides, the thinks he his arrival at the producer will bring many benefits such as: “To provide high production values that characterize my films, as well as a fresh vision to the project, maybe a little more cinematographic.”As for his second movie, Cantinflas, he commented that the film came when he was promoting El Fantástico Mundo de Juan Orol, when the producers saw an interview online. “They contacted me, we talked, they showed me the script, and I made some suggestions, which they agreed with. I found it particularly interesting precisely because of the challenge it represented: a great production with a foreign actor, of a great icon of Mexican culture,” he added.The film will be distributed by Lionsgate and Pantelion in the USA. In Mexico by Videocine. Moreover, the film has already been invited to the Festival de Mar del Plata in Argentina, Vina del Mar in Chile, and Bogota, Colombia. And it was already shown in the Marché du Film of the Cannes Film Festival.
