We have gone back to shoot after a while without doing it. The weather does not help much because this winter has been hard for Galicia but nothing stops us or the children footballers.

We are almost finished filming and in a few weeks we will start with the editing of the documentary.

We will keep you informed of all the advances.

#morewomen - We joined

The last gala of the Goya awards was invaded by red fans as an initiative of the Association of Women Filmmakers and Audiovisual Media to call for greater participation of women in the world of cinema. The fans were dressed by both, women and men, who according to the precursors of the initiative, "must be present."

"Please, more women making movies", asked the filmmaker Carla Simó after receiving the Goya for the best novel direction for her film "Summer 1993".

From Xamalú Films we join the request and we dyed the filming of Dad's Dream in red with these protest fans, who advocate a greater equality of participation between men and women in the audiovisual world.

We are editing!

Editing the documentary

A few weeks ago we started with the edition with the participation of the director, the editor Vanessa García Sampedro and the student trainee Sarayd Ramil.

It is a stage of realization that is very important and involves a lot of dedication. We are working on the first cut and in a small preview so they can see.

Soon you will be able to see our TEASER!
