The spy shows his heart. "It's time to grow", he has asked us. We are going to burst until we put an end to naivety. We walk, we run forming links with our fingers, we tell the meaning of things, we make them appear, we make them animated; but then comes that adolescent regret that proposes us to express the secrets of similar souls. We swim in sugared water, not like swans, but like ducks that have led us to remember the chocolate donuts on the table, from that room in the floating neighborhood. We get together, we wrap ourselves around the pollen that has gotten into our pupils and makes us see flowers in the wood that separates the river from the grass. We feel tremendous, we think, we cut the oranges and we are sure that we have lost everything. The toys help us to get coins, we disappear the caresses that were missing in the camp, the schools open for us at night and teach us that someone is waiting for us. They're the friends, the lovers, but when we look at the clock it sounds less loud; it can be distinguished among the freshest peppermint, the one that tastes like so and steals our breath when we hear its voice throbbing in our hands. We climb the slides upside down, we sing while eating and we scream for love. At the end of the scolding we like to sit under the cool rain on the porch, full of desire amidst the noise of breathing. We take everything with anguish, but at the moment we have cleared up our minds: we have been distracted by the bubble gum and we lie down on the dry grass of an autumn that is about to leave, at the feet of our companion. Sweat leaves us with the feeling that we are doing something wrong, and we found the answer the next Saturday, when we have thought about how to make the fields purple and the earth cool, in that extreme in which we have reacted among the ducks. We realize that we have failed, because adulthood has caught up with us, and has left us without that mint flavor in the peppermint.* *translation of an original entry from May 15th, 2020.

In the future of Verona all kisses dried out. The paralyzed lips were unable to pronounce again the wake of a virginal sex. On the broken path of failed visionaries, J. found herself, hoping to awaken from the abysmal naivety of love. In full disenchantment, she cut the white feathers of the coat that wrapped her and looked closely at R.'s face, free at last from the diffuse future of a Verona in love. The open coffin, illuminated by the water of the most beautiful vineyards, seemed to make R. happy between J.'s emotional disorder and the tearful life that she found worthless. In any case, J. did not want to give up, because without the anguish of love, without the anguish of that wait, she would degrade. The desperate breath would place J. before a confrontation with death and her stubborn acts, fighting against the spoiled war of youthful love; against a momentary memory of the way he dressed: a ridiculous and horrible way. This memory made her instantly lose said spoiled war of love, and because of her obsession with style, J. bled because of her greatest enemy: petulance. She could never accept that R. would never dress in that way that bothered her so much, so J. preferred to rise to eternity, rather than stop seeing R. in such ugly garments. Text inspired by the work "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare and the film "Romeo + Juliet" by Baz Luhrmann.* *translation of an original entry from May 7th, 2020.

The impulses that a film director manifests when positioning the camera makes us recognize the unique and sexual identity of each cinematographic work, since those impulses will always come from the libido. Who ever said that sex is not art? Thinking about that sexuality that the director gives to the script through scenes affirms the idea that I put forward as the "sexual identity of cinema". The identity of cinema is discovered in the observation of the movements of the camera in communion with the acting techniques. They will make love to support a wonderful or stupid story, thus defining their sexuality. If you maintain a firm conviction about what you like, what causes pleasure, about that sensation so similar to that obtained when you kiss, then the director will be doing the right thing; and that sexual identity in auteur cinema will be sincere, or perhaps more than that: it will be authentic. Great filmmakers have kept the flame burning sharp and sharp by releasing Eyes Wide Shut or Pretty Woman, but if one suddenly wanted to change styles abruptly, it would make their films lose their true identity, marking a significant downfall. I will not mention examples of this, because in this blog I do not do film criticism. I simply express myself as a filmmaker. Like all of them. What happened with Mexican cinema was exactly that: By trying to resemble Hollywood cinema, national cinema lost that sexual identity; falling into artistic ruin by creating "recyclable" content with large amounts of money that have simply been used to pay for a catering service or rent a private beach where it was possible to film a ridiculous chase. It is worth mentioning that in the eighties and nineties, memorable years for Mexican cinema, it was shown that this country had talented people: Screenwriters writing literature, writing poetry for the scenes; directors with ideas, feelings, agility and intelligence for the camera; not to mention the wonderful golden age of Mexican cinema! So I affirm that many of us are waiting for sexual identity to return to our cinema and for creatives to leave their antics, preferences and hypocrisy. In this manner, I wrap things up without offending anyone, but I do send my most affectionate greetings to the filmmakers who, like me, are waiting; because as far as my area is concerned, current Mexican cinema does not have the slightest sense of Art Direction. And that is another of the aforementioned reasons why American and French cinema continue to be well positioned, by maintaining an impeccable sexual identity.* *translation of an original entry from April 30th, 2020.

LAURA MARÍA ISABEL RUIZ OCADIZ Literary Fiction Author - Arthouse Film Director Art Director - Conceptual Artist - Actress Ancla 1 Early life Laura Maria Isabel Ruiz Ocadiz was born on October 25, 1983 in Mexico City, in the cradle of a family of musicians. Raised a catholic and calling herself a “Hawkingian” later in life, she began to develop her skills in different artistic disciplines at an early age, her inclinations steering towards the seventh art, Mexican melodrama and classical literature; influenced by her film-obsessed uncle, Ricardo Ocadiz (1943-2005), concert pianist and member of the “Da Capo Jazz Quartet”;1 who in the sixties stood out as one of the new jazz creators in Mexico.2 Being present at her uncle's concerts, in venues such as the Ollin Yoliztli or Chopin in Bellas Artes, Mexico, she lives along a plethora of musicians and stardom personalities; while her father, Enrique Guillermo Ruiz de la Torre (1943-2023) —who in later years would play a crucial role in Maria’s film career— works two shifts as a medical representative and high school science teacher: Once I finished my homework, under the strict supervision of my father, I enjoyed spending time with my grandparents, who were very fond of mathematics, literature and the study of the language (Spanish); later joining my uncle in his analysis of every minuscule aspect of a collection of classic films and watching some old cartoons through his Movie Viewer: a hand-held plastic device similar in appearance to a Super 8 camera, that worked with long cartridges which, when turned crank, displayed the frames through a viewer. —Ruiz Ocadiz, in an interview for the Tokyo International Short Film Festival.3 Professional career Psychology, theater and T.V. In the second year of her university studies, and thanks to the support of Karl and Carlos Bek, actors, doctors and friends of his father, she manages to appear several times as an featured extra in the Mexican soap operas CLAP (Roberto Gómez Jr., 2003) and Reb3lde ( Pedro Damián, 2004), from Televisa; and in Los Sánchez (Ángel Mele, 2004), from TV Azteca. Later, while still studying to get her major, she enroles in Musical Comedy at the Artestudio Performing Arts Center, debuting in a non-televised scenario in the role of “Lori”, from Newsies (Teatro Ciudadela, 2004). Her second role on stage would be that of “Mrs. Darling” in the play Peter Pan (Foro Cultural Chapultepec, 2005), in which she also plays a pirate, a native woman and a mermaid. She tries luck in the reality show Big Brother 3R: Recargado (Endemol, 2005), placing in the first 200 places among more than 500,000 registered;4 5 and in 2006, she plays the leading role in Beauty and the Beast (Teatro Independencia). She majors in Psychology the same year, and her thesis Incidence of anorexia nervosa and bulimia in a group of female ballet dancers is selected by the Graduate Faculty of the University of Tepeyac as the best of 2007.6 She finishes her television career as a featured extra in Pobre Rico, Pobre (Mele, 2008), from TV Azteca; and in the series Capadocia (HBO, 2008). She continues her artistic work behind the scenes as a stagehand at the Teatro Xola Julio Prieto, in order to take a closer look at another aspect of the theatrical production; and co-founds the theater company La Vie Bohème, along with the late producer and actor Erik Ríos Cantú (1989-2009), directing classic plays for family audiences at the Felipe Villanueva Forum and at the Casa de la Cultura del Parque Naucalli, until the dissolution of the company, after Ríos' death. Writing and Filmmaking 2009 presents itself as a year of difficult transition for Maria, who, after the loss of her partner, leaves the theater scene. Having gained some popularity online as an amateur film critic, years before the boom of modern social networks, she receives two gifts from his father's college classmate and friend, Dr. Alejandro Cervantes Bustamante, a regular reader of literary classics: First of all, a compendium of the works of Oscar Wilde, which Maria treasures for years; and secondly, one year's tuition at the SOGEM Writers School (General Society of Writers of Mexico). While studying Literary Creation (2010-2012), she becomes selected by the Mexican short story writer Gerardo de la Torre for the “Melodrama Writer” scholarship by Telemundo and Carlos Romero, creator of “Las Tres Marías” (Televisa); taught by the Colombian librettist Héctor Forero (Amor de mis amores , 2004). At the end of her studies in literature —being a member of the Research Department of the Neurological Center at the ABC Medical Center— she contributes to the scientific journal Anales Médicos ; while looking for a creative outlet.7 This turns out to be a watershed that, months later, leads her to collaborate with the electronic publication F.I.L.M.E. Magazine , contributing her cinematographic analysis of several works and serving as a film correspondent at various events and premiere screenings.8 Her artistic career branches out into the creation of her first short film: Nothing is what it seems (2013), presented at the Felipe Villanueva Forum and in the non-competitive exhibition of the Cine Sin Muros Festival; while, on the other hand, it is banned from the National Auditorium of Mexico for its “high sexual content,” with a kiss being the only physical contact between the characters. In 2014, Maria becomes the winner of the “Luis Buñuel” contest by CONACULTA (now the Ministry of Culture) and Canal 22, being part of the team of scriptwriters for the animation capsule ¡Clic, Clac! and becoming the sole scriptwriter of the television blocks Cinema 22 (arthouse and auteur cinema), Cineteca de Oro (Mexican Golden Age cinema) and La Música con Manzanero (The Music with Manzanero ); in which she also serves as a voice director of announcers. During this time, her second short film, The Gift (2014), is released, where she worked with the then non-actor Robert Kett, and manages to show the film at the Crystal Screen Festival of the National Cinematheque of Mexico (Cineteca Nacional de México). After taking the “Film Directing” course, taught by the famous Diego Luna, Maria decides to solidify her artistic training with a Master of Cinematography at Altrafílmica (2015-2017), meeting editor, writer and film director Juan Pablo Cortés (Love Hurts , 2002; Luciana , 2010), who from the beginning becomes hier mentor, as well as an important figure in his development as an arthouse filmmaker; placing her under his undivided tutelage through an editing scholarship at the Center for Cinematographic Studies (CEC) in Mexico City (2017) and continuing said mentorship until 2019; two years after Maria finished her film studies. In 2017 she serves as Production Assistant in the feature film Sátiros (Roberto Mares, 2017), based on the book Homophobia (Fernando del Collado, 2007), together with the producer Javier Reyes, where she meets the actors Emir Martínez and Ismael Osorio, who in the future would star in her first professional-level short film. Months before publishing her first novel, she is invited to participate in the cultural program FilmeRadio , broadcast by Radio Instituto Politécnico Nacional (95.7 FM), along with the writer and film critic Praxedis Razo, during the celebration of the Jewish Film Festival, in Mexico.9 In 2018, she marries actor, producer, montagist and literary editor Roberto Eduardo Arenas Farquet , and enjoys a well-deserved break from cinema that leads her to write three literary fiction novels, edited by her husband and released independently under the label Luminosa Publishing, namely: Amnistía (Amnesty , 2018), El canotier de Steve: La verdad y la vida (Steve's Canotier: Life & Truth, 2020 ) and Un desvelo de indocilidad (A Wakefulness of Indocility , 2021) —altogether giving her a certain fame as a “new genre creator”, by incorporating screenwriting and film montage into poetic prose—, calling the attention of the Spanish journal Málaga al Día, who publishes an article about her work: (Amnesty) teaches us a very important life lesson: that we are all inhabitants of the same planet. That we are all migrants, in some way. —Elena Zamora Simón, “Book Hunter”, 2021. ‘Málaga al Día’ Journal (Málaga, España).10 In 2021, she co-founds, together with Arenas Farquet, her production house, Pertúrpure Cinema; writing and directing the short films Ni tú ni yo (Neither You Nor I , 2021) —starring Emir Martínez and Ismael Osorio—; Extraviar los conejos (Misplace the Rabbits , 2021) —starring Robert Kett—; Somos un motivo (We are a Motive , 2021); and Amor sin féretro (Love without a casket , 2022). She achieves the long-awaited recognition with these films, obtaining more than 60 laurels from international film festivals in more than 45 cities, including 38 awards and nominations, highlighting awards from the Tokyo International Short Film Festival and the Munich New Wave Short Film Festival.11 Nowadays, Maria is working on the post-production of her debut feature, Un desvelo de indocilidad (A Wakefulness of Indocility ), an oneiric tale of an insomniac candy taster targeted by a sect, which she writes and directs, adapting her novel of the same name to the big screen. María resides somewhere in beautiful and mysterious rural Mexico, where she enjoys conversations about literature and cinema with her husband, all the while attending to the endless demands of her two exasperating cats.

In her debut novel, the director presents a poetic prose narrated about the unstructured cognitions of dependency.

You can always find us at -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday, Feb 28th, 2025 The following extract was taken from an article featured in The FilmmakerLife Magazine, Issue 97. Our beloved Director Maria Ruiz Ocadiz had the incredible bliss and honor to become the cover for such an esteemed publication. "Laura Maria Isabel Ruiz Ocadiz: A Trailblazing Filmmaker Breaking Cinematic Conventions: Emerging from the Mexican independent film industry, Ruiz Ocadiz is a name that resonates particularly in Europe and Asia. A versatile artist whose career spans acting, writing, and directing, her expressionistic style merges thought-provoking visuals and poetic prose into an unforgiving narrative. Click here to download the magazine. A Visionary Redefining the Crafts of Storytelling Introducing new symbols through her art direction and conceptual art, Ruiz Ocadiz promises to achieve a unique sexual atmosphere in her debut oneiric feature A Wakefulness of Indocility—based on her homonymous 2021 novel—which will premiere in 2025, consisting of 2 volumes. Treading the darkest realms of the psychosocial being, this fearless director employs various unconventional cameras to modify reality, leading us to a non-existent past and the eternal fear of a cruel and uncertain future. Her colorful blend of flesh-and-bone, puppet, and cartoon characters creates a contrast between freshness and disturbance, allowing us to savor her directing of arduous performances facing the intangible, the surreptitious, the unconscious of the world they've been plunged into. On how to direct, Ruiz Ocadiz mentions, "...a large part of my so-called “self” changed, finding myself trapped in a tumult of acting images that raced quickly through my reasoning, but I wanted to feel it THAT real, and when I least expected it, I found a “rhetorical number” that led me to use analytical geometry in my filming." Maria Ruiz Ocadiz demonstrates that movies can be felt from the gut, creating an atmosphere of estrangement in her characters, expressing humanity's erratic passing through this world, driven by a dichotomy of the soul." Read the full article here or download the magazine from the link above! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, May 14th, 2024 The following article was featured in 'Caza Libros', published by the Spanish newspaper Málaga al día (Málaga Daily) straight from the pen of talented columnist Elena Zamora Simón (translation): '"Amnesty' (or a great discovery from Mexico)'' One of the beautiful anecdotes that I can tell from the time that I have been reviewing books on Instagram is the relationship established in the distance with authors who gave me the opportunity to discover their works and with them, a little bit of their world. The case of Laura Maria Isabel Ruíz Ocadiz is one of the special ones, because after agreeing on some readings and movies that we both like, I ended up acquiring her first novel, which I'm talking about today: Amnesty (Luminosa Publishing, 2018). It led me to fall in love with the beautiful words of its author. «The saffron sky suffered a disenchantment. The impressed wake of vultures took off into the clouds and my soul recognized helplessness. It was too late to prevent the water from overflowing my face. I shared my affliction with the sky, then it grieved until I bathed. The beach emptied soon after…» At the time I acquired the novel, Maria gave me her second book, Steve's canotier: Life and Truth (Luminosa Publishing, 2020) as a gift; and after reading it I became the first Spaniard to read her complete bibliography, which filled me with pride and satisfaction. Now, Laura Maria has just released her third publication; A Wakefulness of Indocility (Luminosa Publishing, 2021) and she's preparing its film adaptation; and to celebrate these events, her editorial, Luminosa Publishing, decided to publish a 2nd edition of Amnesty, thus celebrating its good reception by the public... and there is yours truly writing the Prologue at the author's request. And since a precious copy with my words written on it has just come into my hands, I wanted to recommend you read it and thus make you part of the work of this woman filmmaker, writer and artist. In Amnesty we are facing a story of overcoming in a dystopian world. It tells us about an Earth similar to ours, but different at the same time. The places that you know in our reality do not have the same names here, but you can try to identify them, like El Encanto, which reminds me of Paris. Each place has its rules so, in Costa del Anhelo, the death of a loved one is not mourned, nor is the person buried; and in El Encanto they are buried, though crying is forbidden. Cassandra (the protagonist) meets Raymundo in Costa del Anhelo and they fall in love. Timeo (the antagonist) is out there, waiting for her. When an earthquake destroys Costa del Anhelo, Cassandra flees with Raymundo to El Encanto, but when they get there they are considered immigrants and Raymundo is detained, while Cassandra manages to flee. From then on, Cassandra's life will be linked to that of Timeo, but not for the better. Amnesty talks about migration, about how people feel lost in their own country or in the country they go to try to start a new life. It is narrated so beautifully that it seems that you are reading something written in verse or with a melody. And it teaches us a very important life lesson: that we are all inhabitants of the same planet; that we are all MIGRANTS in some way. Among the characters that appear, apart from these three, are Eleonor Lucille, a wretched woman in love with Timeo who seems to come out of a glamour magazine and is devilishly hateful; and Adolphe, a boy very similar to Raymundo who had me suspicious of his 'goodness' the whole novel. And it's curious, because he is a character who is there precisely so that Cassandra trusts him; but I don't, he doesn't sneak in for me. Another great protagonist are the vultures, which unfortunately in our reality are in danger of extinction, but here they are revered. The work teaches us how necessary they are for life on this planet. I definitely recommend this novel to you, reader; because of the author's way of writing and because it is not only a novel... It is also a lesson for life. https://www.malagaldia.es/2021/05/21/cazalibros-amnistia-o-un-gran-descubrimiento-venido-de-mexico/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, July 19th, 2021 The Gardenia Aspiring Actress Support Initiative (GAASI) is an innovative proposal by Maria Ruiz Ocadiz to promote the new generations of women artists who, due to a number of different situations, such as lack of expertise, geographic location or socioeconomic context, have had difficulties to venture into the film or television industry.

Continue reading the whole story about this series of films. (Pic: A.I. concept design of LINI and the scuba diving subsistence cult). LMIRO: "'A Wakefulness...' is a film that I hope will show an internal freedom that is difficult to find: A search in the guts, in the muscles, in the memory that insists on having the sense of will to think about what could have been and has not; but can now, as soon as you want, because the desire is greater than any destiny. This is what my film talks about, and it is important that you're able to see it because its intentions go beyond a simple interest in the seventh art, since it aims to create a will from which a sense of freedom that could not be purer emerges. Our current world has made a great effort to spread fear and repression, but I am not trying to make a school of this film. I simply intend to provide a mirror with which to explore the heart. We all need intimacy, currently an expensive luxury that is not paid for with money, but perhaps with too negative experiences, and that intimacy is part of the center of freedom; needing each other to form individuals committed to feelings in today's world: sad and almost empty. We want to have the will to be free in our privacy, just as we are in dreams or when facing the descriptions of idealists, and that is why the film should be for those who need it: For those who long for a different meaning in a world that does not change in its coldness." ORIGINAL TITLE: "Un desvelo de indocilidad." BOOK SYNOPSIS: Gertrudis' lost childhood gave her an obsession with the ideal home, forcing her to break into the privacy of others. Accompanied by eight friends determined to hide their feelings, she will face a dangerous subsistence system flawed in social values. In her third novel, the director presents a work of dramaturgical narrative structured as a theatrical piece. Psychological and dreamlike in nature, the work is based on the theories of psychosocial development of Eric Erikson and built in his extensive interpretation based on Die Traumdeutung by Sigmund Freud. It also incorporates the key concept of Abraham Maslow's work, A Theory of Human Motivation. Author: Laura Maria Isabel Ruiz Ocadiz. Genre: Literary Fiction. Editor: Eduardo Farquet. Pages: 268. Published on: December the 8th, 2020. Language: Spanish.* Available on Paperback and Kindle ! LMIRO: "The portrait in front of a mirage is the narrative of Gertrudis who carefully describes her intimate origins from the home to the mouth of her beloved Silvestre. Recreating a dream made into prose, she returns to the arms of her friends to determine her limits and distinguish herself as a woman eager for sex. Surrounded by ghostly figures like Anunciación and Lini, who question her mental balance until Gertrudis comes to vacillate before a subsistence system ruled by a Master Diver. "Un desvelo de indocilidad" is a literary fiction story attached to a dream, in an emotionally toxicological and uncontrolled surreal environment at the moment of our wake." *English Edition coming Valentine's Day, 2025!

(Pic: Spanish language promotional material from "A Wakefulness..." featuring Julie Díaz). Meet The Mind Behind The Dream! LAURA MARIA ISABEL RUIZ OCADIZ was born in 1983 in Mexico City, in the cradle of a family of musicians. A fanatic of the seventh art, Mexican melodrama and classical literature, she developed her abilities in different artistic disciplines from an early age, including Acting for Musical Comedies at the Artestudio academy. Years later, she graduated with a Bachelor of Psychology and, being a cinephile, she gained a certain popularity online as a movie critic, years before the rise of modern social media. This was a milestone that led her to collaborate with the online magazine F.I.L.M.E. Magazine, providing her cinematographic analysis of several works, and to be featured as a guest on Radio IPN... (continues below) (...) In 2010, she attained a scholarship from SOGEM (the General Society of Writers of Mexico), and upon finishing her studies in literature, as a member of the Neurological Center Research Department of the ABC Medical Center, she contributed to the scientific magazine Medical Annual, while looking for a creative outlet. In 2014, CONACULTA selected her as the Arthouse and Auteur Film T.V. spot screenwriter for the Cinema 22 film block, at Canal 22 (Channel 22). Her artistic career naturally branched off into the making of the short films Sueños y realidades ("Dreams & Realities", 2016) and El regalo ("The Gift", 2015) —shooting the latter... (continues below) (Videos: [left to right] Maria is interviewed by Munich's New Wave Short Film Festival and the Tokyo Short FF about her multi-awarded "Misplace the Rabbits". Yet another success from Pertúrpure Cinema.) (...) the year she began her Film Directing education through a course by Mexican filmmaker and actor Diego Luna—, both of which she wrote and directed, ultimately getting them screened in several national events; particularly at the Pantalla de Cristal film festival from the Cineteca Nacional De México (National Cinematheque of Mexico). Maria then decided to take a more formal step at filmmaking with a Master's Degree in Cinematography from Altrafílmica, which at the end she complemented —selected for a scholarship by editor, writer and director Juan Pablo Cortés (Amar te duele ["Love Hurts", 2002]; Luciana, 2010)— with the Film Editing course at the Center for Cinematographic Studies (CEC) in Mexico City... (continues below) (...) In 2018, she married actor, producer and film editor Roberto Eduardo Arenas Farquet, and enjoyed a well-deserved break from cinema that led her to publish three literary fiction novels: Amnistía ("Amnesty", 2018), El canotier de Steve: La verdad y la vida ("Steve's boater: Truth and Life", 2020), and Un desvelo de indocilidad ("A Wakefulness of Indocility", 2021); ultimately returning to cinema with the release of her latest short film anthology (described above) and her directorial debut feature film which we present herein. A few of Maria's awards and nominations include: "Ni tú ni yo" (NEITHER YOU NOR I) Best Female Director - Gully International Film Festival (Patna, India).

Maria Ruiz Ocadiz on her directorial vision for the movie(s): LMIRO: "Analytical geometry trained me in the skills that my sensoriality required to make my own narrative voice fly. And so, with a purely dreamlike, psychological and philosophical style, I chose the cameras I'd use on my directorial debut; not following any trends, but hoping they will reflect my own brand of art cinema onto the screen. A container of unique images coming from the feeling of the brain ensures that the mirrors of the soul of each character have a captivating development, like the complex beauty that one hopes to find when waking up from a nightmare and trying hard to understand it... (continues below) (...) My intention has never been that whatever I wanted to say was understood correctly, since it would be necessary to analyze the theory and my postulates from the depths, with all the objectivity that a new way of talking about heartbreak, freedom, and intimacy brings. I simply carry a specific geometry within me: a shape of my emotional depths. Said geometry becomes altered in my interpretation —often with an artistic, if not cinematographic, result—, turning everything into a dream that can be seen through a different eye, in the rawest terms that I can capture on camera; perhaps within the poetry of Gaston Bachelard or 'The Interpretation of Dreams' by Sigmund Freud.... (continues below) (...) I am happy to show my work because it has the potential of my 'self' and its character. The Direction of Actors taken from the acting technique 'Practical Aesthetics' allowed me to discover in my performers' emotions a reality that we're not usually close to or that perhaps we could not even imagine, for it ranges from gesture to gesture until reaching something endearing, without necessarily being loving. On the contrary, a way of 'not loving' is postulated, precisely what corrupts freedom and gives a twist to intimacy. Without a doubt, the direction was planned in a very extravagant way, promising an escape, a scandal, or even a dare for its subject. I am proud to present everyone's work." (Pic: Our director also plays a part in this story, as the possessive VENANCIA. Truly a complete artist.) ((Pic: It is through the eyes of Julie Díaz and Robert Kett that we discover the oneiric side of cinema, which makes us face a stark and current reality: Sects.) JULIE DÍAZ LMIRO: "The captivating stage presence of our revelation actress takes us to a dream world through body expression and gives life to an endearing antihero. In “A Wakefulness...” we enjoy the work of this Mexican TV star, who defines herself under numerous acting techniques which lead her to an eclectic and unmatched precision on the set. With an incredible capacity for gesticulation, she proves that acting is a palpable feeling, not just an idea about character development. Wonder that she intends to interpret, wonder that becomes a reality. Leaving her emotions well practiced, Julie Diaz is a comet that will leave a trail on your mind and a mark on your heart. I invite you all to succumb to the emotional brilliance of her performance." Check out Julie's INDIEGOGO pitch at the top of the page! (Pic: Julie poses above her character's childish nemesis, the obnoxious ANUNCIACIÓN). A few of Julie Díaz's credits include the TV series, Como dice el dicho, La rosa de Guadalupe, and Niñas promedio (Suárez, 2018). (Video: Our Star, Julie Díaz, who plays "LINI", presents her Demo Reel from 2020.) ROBERT KETT LMIRO: "A revelation of Mexican and worldwide arthouse cinema plays the antagonic character in a bifurcation created between an enticing evil and the horror of inverted human needs. Demonstrating a sense of character based on dramaturgy and evolutionary cinema through a Practical Aesthetic technique, Robert Kett will shock audiences with his controlled emotionality that fills two very different characters with sensitivity, nuances and excitement. The tremendous introjection in each part he plays in the movie triggers utopian thinking about the power of impersonal projection, contradicting Meisner's theories." Check out Robert Kett's INDIEGOGO pitch at the top of the page! (Pic: Robert Kett also stars as the antagonist of Ruiz Ocadiz's successful 2021 short: "Misplace the Rabbits".) (Pic: Spanish language promotional material from "A Wakefulness..." featuring Díaz and Kett). LMIRO: "I do not intend to come across as pretentious when talking about these wonderful filmmakers, but rather give each of them the importance a teacher should be given. Jean-Luc Godard has helped me face the dark forest full of monsters, making it very clear to me who I am and what I want to say without fear of anything or anyone. It is thanks to him that I can trust and jump from the top of one mountain to another without falling. --Woody Allen has shaken my heart. He has questioned me about love and has consciously taught me that heartbreak always ends in the same discovery: being in love. --David Lynch has immersed me in my own mental world full of letters and images that, despite being painful, can be as beautiful as life; a life made into cinema yesterday, today and always. --Maja Milos has empowered me as a woman. She has shown me the highest and only degree of sex. She has shown me honesty when expressing an idea. She has shown me that nothing can be as pure as sex. --Thanks to my influences, today I'm ready to introduce myself to the world as a director." (Pic: [left to right] Film Directors Jean-Luc Godard, Maja Milos, Woody Allen and David Lynch.) "A shroud of darkness, the influence of Tlatilco's 'El Acróbata' (The Acrobat) looms over the characters." LINI Played by: JULIE DÍAZ LMIRO: "'Lini' represents the color 'green', living with a vibrant, erotism-disguised nostalgia which she believes will lead her to an intimate freedom." (Pic: AI concept design for Lini. Deciding which version of the character deserved to be brought to the screen was a tough decision...) (...In the end, it was decided that she'll maintain some of her evil traits from her namesake in the book, while becoming a much more humane and troubled character. The incredibly talented Julie Díaz was able to bring her character a sense of despair not found in the original story.) SILVESTRE & MASTER DIVER (MAESE BUZO) Played by: ROBERT KETT LMIRO: "'Silvestre' represents the color 'red' that experiences torment for exchanging love for basic desire. Its gesticulating vocabulary deals with dreams and mirrors carnality in fearful, naive and immature women." LMIRO: "'The 'Master Diver' represents the color 'purple', which leads people to believe it is the way of nature to accept darkness of the mind and body, damaging intimacy." GERTRUDIS (TOON)* Voiced by: ? *final design pending. LMIRO: "'Gertrudis' represents the color 'yellow', craving sincere happiness through sexual realization, from the most basic to the most outlandish". (Pic: Test footage still from the "Main Chase" scene, featuring a preliminary design that conveyed the basic psychology of the main character). VENANCIA Played by: TOPANGA MCPHEE LMIRO: "'Venancia' represents the color 'gold', bereft by a withered male ideal. An ideal that weakens her sense of intimacy." (Pic: As a director/performer, Ruiz Ocadiz [a.k.a Topanga McPhee] originally played volatile Venancia to support her own debut feature. Little did she knew how much she'd enjoy it!) OTHER CHARACTERS INCLUDE: DOMINGO, played by JACC. ELISA, played by Onésima Teresita (GAASI). THE DOCTOR, voiced by Robert Kett. (Pic: The Doctor, a marionette character who undergoes a drastic transformation throughout the movie.) Mr. MONTES DE OCA (TOON), voiced by Robert Kett. EDELMIRA (TOON), voiced by ? and, of course... THAT WIG-WEARING BRAT... ...ANUNCIACIÓN! Voiced by: Babi Rouz LMIRO: "'Anunciación' represents the color 'pink' of an immature selfishness and a vain, painless understanding of the world; a toy-like CONSCIOUSNESS." LMIRO: "Enveloping dreams with the work of Ludwig van Beethoven is an idea that could illuminate people with a remnant of the past collapsed within a present full of cinema. From a place where fantasy awakens in an 'almost', comes 'Quasi una fantasia', the one that declares Beethoven's love for seeing everything as an event of love: slow, rosy, dark, meekly; it allows us “A sleeplessness…”, which is how Beethoven must have felt. "The musical verdict coming from the great coexistence and enlightening conversations with our composer, Maestro Marco Iannello, add to the precise and sentimental musicality for each scene of the film, thus demonstrating the maturity of our Arthouse effort." And it is in the era of awakening that we invite ourselves (by our own 'selves') to live the R.M.B heartache party that is 'Burn With Me', capturing every sensation of the moment to be able to save it forever in the flow of our blood; stricken with the rhythm of "Ego", which clears sexual memory and takes you on a galactic journey; with an open mind's eye and wholeheartedness that only 'Zen' can compel us to achieve. Not to perceive R.M.B.'s songs and voice as a unique act of desire is madness. Opening the Dance cycle, added to that vintage act comes an original song composed and performed by Natalie Dime, which makes us fly over the thoughts of lack of love of our protagonist, with no place to forget, only to concentrate on giving yourself to your lover, until the world ends, until sleeplessness. Understanding INDOCILITY as a permission to express the emotion of life with the dance that marked what we were and what we are, Natalie Dime takes us to this mental and physical place with 'This Crown'. Gertrudis' DREAM, Lini's FEAR, Silvestre's HEARTBREAK and Anunciacion's LONELINESS come true on the big screen thanks to the impeccable musicology of Marco Iannello, distinguished by his unique style in the composition of classical pieces that express the passion of human beings regarding the moments within a lifetime of hardship. The musical verdict coming from the great coexistence and enlightening conversations with our composer, Marco Iannello, add to the precise and sentimental musicality for each scene of the film, thus demonstrating the maturity of our arthouse effort." (Pic: We are thrilled to enlist the huge talents of [from left to right] Marco Ianello, R.M.B. and Natalie Dime as the ringleaders of our musical spectacle. The eternal pieces of Ludwig van Beethoven will wrap it all up nicely in a shroud of melancholy). As eagerly awaited for movie goers of each film throughout history, our unmatched score and soundtrack both detail the process of thought when riddled by the madness of heartbreak with melodies that decipher desire and obsession. Definitely something to be remembered for the rest of our lives. We will release TWO ALBUMS on stores and streaming services: "A WAKEFULNESS...": Vol. I & II's ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK FEATURING THE MUSIC OF: R.M.B. / NATALIE DIME / Ludwig van BEETHOVEN AND MORE! COMING FALL, 2024. "...of INDOCILITY": Vol. I & II's ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SCORE By MARCO IANELLO , COMING SPRING, 2025! *Get our "Your Song in the Movie" perk and be part of the OST! Royalties included!! Check out our unique ONE-PER-BACKER Sr. and Jr. Location Manager perks! ACAPULCO, GUERRERO LMIRO: "History that represents the feelings of our Mexican past; a tradition is the bay, eternally celebrating." TEQUISQUIAPAN, QUERÉTARO LMIRO: "Idyllic center of grapes and its best derivations: green, fresh and Colonial Mexico town to the heart." EZEQUIEL MONTES, QUERÉTARO LMIRO: "In the night of macabre rounds, amidst the neon mist, they hide; eager to lose themselves in the dream of another Mexico." MEXICO CITY LMIRO: "We are Independence, struggle; a living soul that yearns to love." LAGO DE GUADALUPE (Lake of Guadalupe) (STATE OF MEXICO) LMIRO: "Above waters as deep as the Mexican feeling, the lilies keep fighting the lost war of the birds." CIUDAD SATÉLITE (SATELLITE CITY) (STATE OF MEXICO) LMIRO: "A vibrant place that paints its illuminating circuits in primary colors, proof of the youth of our race." CUERNAVACA, MORELOS LMIRO: "Spring falls in love with each of the remaining seasons, while staying faithful to the sun." TEOTIHUACÁN (MEXICO CITY) LMIRO: "Our ancestors continue to teach us how to resist modernism through the strengthening of the spirit." PACHUCA, HIDALGO LMIRO: "The Railways of Mexico still carry endless memories of the most distinguished city travelers." LOS CABOS, BAJA CALIFORNIA LMIRO: "Bittersweet tears of Mexico, addicted to the luxuries of the giant aquariums under our feet." LONDON, UK LMIRO: "Of castles impregnated with flowers, reminding us that light is beautifully different from the rest of the universe." ZIPOLITE, OAXACA (ART DIRECTION!) LMIRO: "The unknown Mexico tells stories of freedom in its salty waters, demonstrating there's greatness in the purity of the flesh." AND... TLATILCO? LMIRO: "Shamanic energies chant in the antiquities found in the tombs of our homeland." (Pic: A shroud of darkness, the influence of Tlatilco's 'El Acróbata' [The Acrobat] looms over the characters). (Pic: Like a foreboding glimpse of secrets that were, the label of Uva Blanca de Borgoña's fictional brand of chardonnay warns us about Tlatilco: 'The Place of Hidden Things'). LMIRO: "The cinematographic world is governed by the need to turn fiction into reality, for which I have developed my Art Direction under the guidelines of Production Designer Roberto Eduardo Arenas Farquet. We succeeded in achieving the recreation of our magical Mexican beach 'Zipolite' in all its splendor, materializing before our eyes in our set... (continues below) (...) The Art Direction with its colors, textures and shapes pounces to the screen on this film, much like our several four-legged performers, whom we've taken in great care, making clear the dreamlike atmosphere in which the characters develop, some scenes accompanied by honest Conceptual Art [not 'Concept Art']; a sample of what cinema is capable of doing with the artistic and narrative placement of what would otherwise be considered props." LMIRO: "In charge of exposing the final cinematographic work is Roberto Eduardo Arenas Farquet, who opens an attic to a dimension made by the insides, leaving you with a sudden, cut-off sigh that can almost drown you in visual pleasure, as you recognize that living, breathing entity within the film. His montage is displayed as an extreme way of living, which brings together the changes that reality plays with and the expectations that one has about an imaginary world, in order to detail the authentic aspect of dreams... (continues below) (...) Sensation of incongruity and perfection of congruence are both triggered in the cuts that chill the soul, through an influential visual rhythm for those seeking a reflection of creation. Like a dynamic apparatus that transforms everything that was filmed into a surreal reality —unlike anything you've known—, a mental reality within each of us, Arenas Farquet's montage unearths the secrets that we've always yearned to discover." JOIN THE VERTEX SHARP TRANSIENT! Forever become a part of Mexico's unique cinematographic history by joining the effort to make the first animation-over-live-action feature film to come from our country! What We Need & What You Get The cameras have stopped rolling... the actors have left the set. But this was ONLY THE FIRST HALF of our work! In order to make a live-action animation feature, we still need to actually put some CARTOONS on top of our footage!! That's where the voice talent and animators come in, and that's what we call (at least for this movie) our post-production stage. Other aspects of this stage also include Film Editing and Sound Design, but those are being well-taken care of by our Montagist Roberto Eduardo Arenas Farquet (a.k.a. Robert Kett), also starring as the main baddie! Also, since we want this story to be enjoyed by anyone who dares to, distribution should positively be as important as the filmmaking process itself! You will also be supporting our effort by making it possible for us to submit our films to Film Festivals and other streaming and pay-per-view platforms. INSURANCE AGAINST UNRELEASE: This is a movie (or movies) with over 5 hours of already shot footage. Though it's true we still need to cover some expenses, mostly related to post-production (including animation and voice acting) we can safely say each separate film is pretty much COMPLETED. If you were, say, THE ONLY BACKER, you can rest assured THESE FILMS WILL BE RELEASED! We mainly need help to take things to a WHOLE different level, such is the way of our media family. On the other hand, "A WAKEFULNESS OF INDOCILITY" Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 will go on their respective festival tours AT THE SAME TIME THEY'RE BEING PRESENTED TO A LARGER PUBLIC. This means that you'll be able to watch the final product on more than one streaming platform, hence we've at least procured two of them so far: Our very own www.LuminosaCanal.com , and the rising free-to-watch platform Tubi . The movies will also be released for sale and rent on Amazon Prime Video, and all physical versions will be put on a number of online stores. Risks & Challenges As Pertúrpure Cinema, we've successfully released 4 short films (now streaming on LuminosaCanal.com and Opprime.tv ) by the name of Neither You Nor I, under a budget of 3000 MXN; Love Without a Casket, under a budget of 4,000 MXN; We Are a Motive, under a budget of 6,000 MXN; and Misplace the Rabbits, UNDER THE CONSTRAINTS OF 1000 MXN! (not counting the cash spent on Film Festival entries for each film!). Even though we know a full-length motion picture is a whole different language, more so a TWO-PART MOVIE SERIES, this is the first time that we ever search to benefit from any type of crowdfunding. In other words, we will DELIVER. "What if I can't make a contribution via INDIEGOGO?" No problem! You can always make a contribution via PayPal at paypal.me/ruizocadiz .
