dir. Juan Lume

CAÍDA LIBRE (Free Fall)
He was also the theatre director of the play PROMETEO, launched in 2019 in the city of Montevideo, with a roaming season in Uruguay, as well as in different theatre halls in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2019. During 2015 and 2016, he presented the theatre play HANSEL Y GRETEL, nominated for the 2017 CLAP Awards and with the largest audience in 2016, with two successful seasons in the theatres Coca-Cola City and Centro Morí. He is currently working on the pre-production of his first feature film, ASEDIO, both as producer and director of the project. In addition to his work at Go.Films, he developed his career for three years as general producer of the multi-space cultural theatre Ladrón de Bicicletas in Santiago, Chile. During that period, he was responsible for the following activities: executive production, program design of all billboard works, sponsorship management, coordination of activities, and new hires. He has vast experience in pedagogy, teaching short film workshops in the field of fiction at the Cultural Corporation Balmaceda 1215. He also noted, concerning this short film: “Invisibles emerges from the concern to investigate the different reactions that our memory can have when facing traumatic events, and how our brain can block all its memories in front of such a reaction.” We can confirm that he really reached his goals, and we can add that his strong experience does not seem affected at all by the low production budget. For all the above-mentioned reasons, INVISIBLE was awarded Best Director Short Film in May 2021 by the Berlin Indie Film Festival.
