about the Project

 

The script "Non distinguishing features" was written with a grant from the Mexican Fund for the Arts (FONCA 2013). Despite being a fiction film project, the story will be told with a documentary approach that demands a thorough field research, currently in development.

 

The film will be shot in different locations in Mexico by the end of 2015.
