My normal approach is to remain flexible amid the commotion of filmmaking always adapting and changing in a semi-automatic process that discovers a film instead of creating it. Like a painter who starts applying paint without an image in mind, I will organize people to locations and until that moment when I see how the light may be or circumstances, will I then start choosing the direction or look of the film.

When the world heard Orson Welles' classic telling of War of the Worlds over the radio, it caused mass panic. When people hear news, no matter how fantastic it sounds, through a media they are used to hearing truth from, they tend to believe it. Forecast is the Apocalypse prophesied in the Bible told in the form of a live breaking news broadcast. In the final two hours of the Earth as we know it, the judgment of sin reaches it's climax.

Congratulations to Peter Sanders, director of DESAPARECIDO, winner of the Special Prize to the Best Documentary Film in the 2007 DOCUMENTARY & FICTION FESTIVAL OF HOLLYWOOD.

Sincerely,

Director
