Case Study: 'Cleo vendrá esta noche'

Stories rooted not only in experiences but also in the resources we have to film them. The challenge of approaching projects by seeing the budget as an ally rather than an enemy: How do you shoot with €0? What about €2,000? How do we go about crafting an audiovisual language that can reach the same narrative and formal heights as major truly great films?

In this activity we shall analyse the case of the short film Cleo vendrá esta noche, by Aitana Ahrens and Miguel Guindos.
