Synopsis
Mabel “Mictlan” is the proof of concept focused on a fragment during her forced visit to the underworld, where a struggle is unleashed between her humanity and her survival instinct; relying on a surreal “Arthouse” style.
Independent filmmaking is capable of refreshing and contributing new ideas or perspectives to the film industry, and for that we have to start in some way, we do not always have the possibilities; That is why if you want to support this project to be carried out, I invite you to contact me, any idea or suggestion is worth it.
The funds acquired will be used primarily for the art and costume department, since attention to the pre-Hispanic details of the story is very important; also to food and hydration of the cast and crew during filming, for their best performance.
