SPIRITUS DEI’

Project bio

This project came from a simple class assignment, at the university. What happened was that the more we worked on the project, the more the short film and its plot grew. As we immersed ourselves into the cause of making this story alive, the project evolved from being a class assignment to a personal project that eventually ended up transcending in the lives of each of the people that were involved. Spiritus Dei is a short film that didn’t really count with a large amount of budget, but it did count with a really great and committed team who made possible to reach every shooting, find every location and achieve the quality to take the plot to a superior level, where everything was a little more beautiful, emotional and believable. Spirtus Day is a team work and also a hard work, an adventure for all of us.

This crazy story about nuns intending to conquer the world and specially the feelings that the main character develops for another woman, who puts her in a place where she struggles to be happy by herself or stay committed to the religious cause, stayed for many years in a drawer, waiting to be shared. I’d love to say that it was planned to take this short film to reality, but the truth is that it actually wasn’t, it was just a circumstantial moment that made it happen. But this fact just proves that everything can happen and I’m terribly happy that sometimes life puts these kind of opportunities in your hands. At the end It’s all a matter of whether to jump for it or not.

There are many perspectives through which this short-film can be viewed. It can be an impossible love story, the internal struggle to discover who you really are or the incessant search for power regardless of the consequences and the price to pay.
