Only they wanted to make a science fiction movie.

Now Pablo Parés tells us about his movie "Filmatron":

We made Filmatron as a way to express, through film, how we view the Argentine movie-making system. It’s a kind of protest film—our way of criticizing the current state of the industry.

The movie took four years of our lives to complete… a long time, but a good one. It was a no-budget project, entirely self-financed with money from our day jobs. Filmatron is a truly independent production, made by a small group of film lovers. We enjoyed doing everything ourselves—our team of just 10 people took on every role in the process.

We shot the film using a Sony PD150 DV camera, which was the standard at the time. (Nowadays, we use a Canon 7D because it allows us to work with better lenses.)

Looking ahead to the future of film distribution, we’re focusing all our efforts on our YouTube channel. We believe the future of entertainment lies on the web—where creators can connect directly with audiences. Our hope is for a future without intermediaries.
