El Sol

Now Ayar Blasco tell us about his movie "El Sol":

The entire production of El Sol was, in itself, one long anecdote. I wanted to create an apocalyptic film that didn’t rely on action, and I chose characters who resembled my friends —because I had them in mind from the start. I didn’t approach this project with any commercial intentions, so whatever happens with the film now will be a pleasant surprise.

We made it using Adobe Flash, and it took us seven years to complete —mainly because we took our time (maybe a bit too much!). I first developed the script with the support of the Hubert Bals Fund, and later we received help from INCAA (Argentina’s National Film Institute). But above all, the film came to life thanks to the commitment and support of everyone involved in its making.

Seeing the final result has inspired me to start working on a new film much sooner. I’ve learned so much from this process, and I know that experience will be valuable in the future.
