La Piñata De Marcel sigue su camino para formar parte de uno de los festivales más respetados y con calificación para los premios Oscar: ¡el Festival Internacional de Cine de Cleveland! 🌍🏆 Es un honor ser incluido en esta increíble selección.

Estamos profundamente agradecidos por la oportunidad de compartir esta historia tan personal con una audiencia tan importante.

✨ ¡Emocionado de presentarles mi nuevo cortometraje: “La Piñata De Marcel”! ✨

📼 Ambientada en los años ochenta, seguimos la historia de Marcel, un niño con una gran imaginación que, al cumplir años, se enfrenta a la inevitable despedida de su infancia.

🎬 Es mi proyecto más autorreferencial hasta la fecha, en el que exploro la dificultad de un niño hipersensible para aceptar el paso del tiempo y dejar atrás su mundo de fantasía.

🦸🏻‍♂️Esta película fue un enorme desafío debido a la complejidad de trabajar con niños actores en una época tan particular como la década de los 80’s. Quiero agradecer a todo el equipo por su talento, esfuerzo y dedicación. Sin ustedes nada hubiese sido posible.

💫La magia apenas está comenzando. Sigue a @mishurucafilms para todos los detalles y noticias.

✨ I’m thrilled to introduce my new short film: “Marcel’s Piñata”! ✨

📼 Set in the 1980s, the story follows Marcel, a highly imaginative kid, who faces the bittersweet farewell to his childhood has his birthday approaches.

🎬 This is my most personal project yet, exploring the struggles of a hyper sensitive child as he struggles with the passage of time and letting go of his fantasy world.

🦸🏻‍♂️ Making this film was quite a challenge, especially working with child actors in such a unique era as the ‘80s. I want to thank the entire cast and crew for their incredible talent, hard work, and dedication. This wouldn’t have been possible without you.

💫 The magic is just beginning! Follow @mishurucafilms for all the latest updates and news!
