Alberto Rodríguez's odyssey in the realm of visual and auditory storytelling began at the prestigious Faculty of Information Sciences of the University of Seville, where he devoted himself to mastering the nuances of the craft.
In the year 1997, Rodríguez embarked on a collaborative endeavor with esteemed filmmaker Santiago Amodeo, working tirelessly to bring this innovative project to fruition. Utilizing cutting-edge video equipment and a modest budget of 30,000 pesetas, Rodríguez and Amodeo poured their hearts and souls into the production.
The film's phenomenal success was met with widespread acclaim, as it garnered an impressive 15 prestigious awards, cementing its place as a landmark achievement in the world of cinema. This remarkable recognition served as a catalyst for Rodríguez to revisit the project, inspired to create a more ambitious and visually stunning version, this time in cinemascope.
