In the year 1999 and resorting to the digital format, Jose Campusano wrote and directed the first 30 minutes of an experimental full-lenght film about the extreme routine of a criminal trio devout of ” Saint The Death “.
In this short film take part professional and vocational actors and also an ex-devoutly, who across an emotional and spiritual well-known cost, months ago could establish a special relation with the mentioned energy across a pact.
Having finished the edition, the director defined that the frightening landscape that he had perceived along the investigation was not palpable in the film, deducing that the motive was an insecurity of his part in the managing of the tools that the cinema establishes, sticking to preconceived schemes.
Jose takes ” Suburban Cult ” as the best school of cinema to which he could accede, and from there he dedicated to improve his bonds of connection with different universes, supporting them in pure condition during the filming.
