Director Statement

This story is a unique opportunity to explore the complex transition to adulthood through an unusual and engaging lens: terror and UFO encounters. We will immerse ourselves in the psychology of a young man who, when facing the unknown, must confront his fears and assume the responsibilities that maturity imposes.
The theme of terror and UFOs has great potential to resonate with a wide audience, especially those interested in narratives that challenge the limits of the real. In addition, the exploration of paranormal phenomena and their impact on the human psyche, especially in a Mexican context, adds a layer of authenticity and freshness that has not been seen before.
Not only does this story promise an exciting journey, but it also offers a platform to reflect on how extraordinary events can shape our identity and our place in the world.
