Note of Intent:
I always see in the films that interest me and in which I feel like filming, a powerful emotion that crosses and transforms the story. In Dónde estés será mi horgar is the threat of ignoring someone you love, the suspicion that the beloved face actually hides another, one that poses a danger. An exaggerated paranoia of losing someone close to the crowd, the risk of wanting and being vulnerable, a fear that we all once live in the body.
I am interested in this ambiguous terrain that produces terror in bodies, in this dialog between the real and the fantastic, I find personal feelings, almost shameful, of my experience: Paranoia and fear, but also wanting and missing someone. That’s why I want a raw story, a thick stroke, of teenage passions, neighborhoods at dawn, lots of sleep, romances, infections, smell of cut grass, outburst.
