That Breath
Camera Operator
At 88 years old, my grandfather Fernando suggested that we make a film together. His proposal comes when I tell him I'm moving out of his house. So we started filming, me with my camera and he with his. Although we have lived together for more than 20 years, it is through the camera that we see each other like never before. That Breath is an intimate record of our bond, love and loss, in search of understanding what it means to be alive.

Frozen Man
Producer
Sailing on a Uruguayan Navy ship, a group of soldiers sees their lives consumed by risk and fatigue. Their destination is Antarctica and they will cross the stormy ocean to deliver supplies to a scientific base. Their journey, often interrupted by icebergs, is long and fraught with danger. Upon reaching their destination, the landscape becomes dominant and the men slowly disappear. There, in the midst of the storm, all traces of humanity have been erased and the world dilutes us in the waters of the thaw.
