Independent Mexican and North-American film-makers
discussed
the process of making their own films and what they have learned about their experiences , last Thursday at the Comic-Con in San Diego , the most important event in the comic industry.
Frank Rodríguez
(My first movie), Jorge Araujo (Fantasías), the debutant Víctor Osuna , among others, are some of the Mexicans in the panel , while Mitch Hyman and Dirk Sholar are the North-American independent film-makers invited.
The idea is to discuss what are the challenges they and their movies face without the huge financial resources, says Rodríguez.
Rodríguez
says that “ last year I was part of the public , I was recording a live video, wearing a luchador mask and people took pictures with me, then someone approached me and asked what I did and all of a sudden I was with the conference organizers ”.
He details how the organizers found out that “My first movie” had been commercially exhibited in the U.S. (in 4 theaters): “So they asked me to gather a group of 4 film-makers to talk about how you can achieve that , of course, in the U.S. an independent movie has a budget of US $2 million, that's the budget of a big movie in Mexico”, he says.
Also, he claims that he will look for co-funding in the U.S. and to establish distribution links.
What's more, “they will exhibit a bit of what film-makers in Jalisco are doing” , he said.
