Synopsis
In a small Asturian farming community threatened by industry, animals fall ill. Vitorino, a traditional animal healer and reaper, tries to preserve a vanishing way of life. His defense of nature pits him against factories and loggers in an increasingly quixotic rebellion.
Letter of Intent
With Vitorino, I want to talk about nature and industry in Asturias. Industry has provided jobs and shaped our identity, but also transformed the landscape. The short grew out of my search for the tone of a feature film in the early stages of financing. Now I want to find its final form through editing and start a conversation about the land we inherit and our responsibility towards it.

Needs / Objectives
Through the editing process, I need to find a structure that gives meaning to the footage. The goal is to learn how to wrap up a project and understand the post-production processes.
