Synopsis
In the near future. Humanity is on the edge of extinction and survival has become a perverse game. A couple travels somewhere unknown to make a trade-off. What they’ll exchange is a mystery, but, what they will receive in return could save them. What is this couple willing to sacrifice in order to survive?

He’s also the director of WAR, a boutique studio focused on creating content for TV and web. He’s the director of three short films, Voces (Voices, 2015), Bolas de Fuego (Balls of fire a segment in México Bárbaro, 2016) and Deliver (2018). He has worked on projects as a local producer on MTV 19 (documentary), Banged Up Abroad (docudrama) and The toughest prisons of the world: Mexico City (docu series). He worked also as Screenwriter for the mini-series “Earthquake 85” (Discovery fillers with the 2016 Promax Award).
Deliver is a story that triggers things in different layers for me. First, it’s a dystopian story about the future, a very horrible but also possible future, especially if as a society we keep behaving the way we do. Second, it’s a story that was filmed forty minutes from La Havana, Cuba, in a place called “El pueblo textil”, literary the textile town, a forgotten, and almost ghost town where hundreds of people are trying to find a decent way to live. It is a story about the sacrifices of a young couple, that reminds us that even in the worsts circumstances, and maybe very well hidden, there’s always a chance for hope.
