HISTORIAS DEL DESENCANTO / STORIES OF THE DISENCHANTMENT

This was in a way a high experience endowing production. We where supposed to be
doing this with Argos Television but suddenly went into no money limbo. So we went on doing this for film passion (as almost every proyect with heart in Mexico), for the creator of the film this was an Ultra though experience that was almost ten years long. So it came as a nice thing to see he finally got to finish this film. It is a wonderful thing to have this kind of projects as experience in mi resumé, it was a really difficult thing because it took years for everyone to see the film proyected on the silver screen. For me it was a great opportunity to see how a no-budget film was made and I think that without the help of THA (production company), we wouldn't have done a thing. THA is the Trujillo brothers company, they are sort of the kings of low budget in mexico, famous for video home productions. So we started this film without money, we went trough production having rough times with the staffs, who didn't wanna work for no pay. As if everyone else did! So I was a P.A. and I really liked the idea for this is an interactive film, to be released in DVD. Other person involved was legendary Roger Corman and then some other post producers got involved. I just got to see the film and it is a good thing, considering how much money there was, it is GREAT! Beautiful thing to work with Alejandro Valle and Felipe Gomez.. but nasty experience working for the LATE production co. Background, those guys where bad! and I had a nasty experience with Alejandra Cárdenas.. If you are producing a film with no money, you should have more respect for your co workers.. else you'll suck their blood and they WILL hate you for no pay. SO IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON DOING A LO BUDGET FILM... DON'T BE A SELFISH PERSON AND PUT YOURSELF IN OTHER PEOPLE'S SHOES AND PLEASE AT LEAST DON'T GET STRESSED WITH THEM IF YOU DON'T PAY THEM... AND EVEN IF YOU PAY THEM, MAN YOU ARE NOT THEIR OWNER, TAKE YOUR TIME TO CONSIDER IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE TREATED LIKE A SLAVE FOR NO PAY. AND EVERYONE THAT WORKS FOR YOU WILL HAVE A BIT OF APPRECIATION FOR YOU.
