Vista L.A. sat down with the film's director, producer and lead actress to chat about this suspense-filled short that begins with a phone and ends leaving the audience wanting more.
"As a mother it was hard to play that role, but as an actress it was enjoyable. A mix," actress Marta Nieto said.
The narrative is about a six-year-old boy on vacation with his father in France, but suddenly finds himself stranded on a beach.
"You can imagine the panic of a mother. The panic in just 30 seconds, one minute. It was just one minute in real life, but when Rodrigo (film's director) wrote it he extended it to a much longer time," producer Eduardo Villanueva said.
Inspired by true events, every second of the 19-minute movie intensifies with panic and feelings of distress.
The feature film picks up ten years later and promises to be more even more of a thriller! Look out for "Madre" this fall.
