Hey, good people who follow me on Letterboxd!
My first short film, Chronophobia, is currently playing at a fairly big "fantastic" festival here in Brazil (called Fantaspoa) and getting some attention. Seems like as good a time as any to ask you to watch it.
Watch it here. I was gonna link to the festival stream, but I just realized it's not subtitled, so this Vimeo will do.
Getting lots of positive reviews here, which is heartening. Feel free use…
Aos meus seguidores conterrâneos do LB: esse é o meu novo curta, ENERGÚMENO, e hoje ele começa a ser exibido online via o Fantaspoa - Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantástico de Porto Alegre, o que é bem foda.
A participação dele no festival vai até dia 30. Pra assistir, vai na plataforma: darkflixplus.com.br/
Você faz o cadastro (que é só email e nome, moleza) e procura o meu filme lá.
Se tá na dúvida se quer assistir ou não, tem…
