EL CAMINO DE LLEVAR UN GUIÓN AL CINE...
"Writing a film screenplay is easy... the difficult part is rewriting and rewriting a lot of times so that that screenplay is good". (Juan José Campanella)
This story was the one that initiated me on the audiovisual path. I had always liked writing, finishing different attempts at fiction. But it was this story that took me on the long journey that one must go through to get a screenplay to the cinema. And the best thing about that journey is everything that I learned, all the conversations, coffee talks, and the different people that I met along the way.
It started as a synopsis of a few pages under the title of "El Mufa". And that first version led me to meet a great screenwriter in the industry who told me: "I'm going to teach you how to write this as a film screenplay, because I like the potential it has."
We were at a café in Buenos Aires, in the midst of the 2001 crisis, for him to teach me some guidelines on how to build a film screenplay. And after each meeting, I generated the different scenes.
Finally, with the screenplay finished, it was years and years of going around and meeting with different producers, directors, actors...
Until finally, after a chat at a McDonald's with Horacio Maldonado of Cinered Film, in which I told him the story and gave him the first version of the screenplay, he told me "I'm interested in this story to film it, I was looking for a comedy".
That's when a new chapter began of rewriting the story but with a film director (who later initiated me into video editing and my entire audiovisual path).
Until after a few more years, I sat in a movie theater to watch the final work.

NOVELA
Synopsis
​
Edu's life goes by without projects or goals... but happily.
One day he goes to deliver an order from his own empanada house. And to his surprise, he finds that the person who made the order was about to commit suicide. To make matters worse, this person nicknamed "the Vasco" was a friend of his that he barely remembered.
Edu discovers that he was the indirect cause of Vasco's depression. And he has no better idea to remedy this mistake than to embark Vasco on a PROJECT: together they must build and put into operation a strange machinery that, apparently, seems far from channeling their "unfortunate" lives...
However, this uncommon feat will drive them to journey together a path full of singular situations that will increasingly temper their restless spirits.

Author's data
​
The screenwriter of "A date, a party, and a black cat" chooses dramatic comedy again so that, this time, two new characters go through the most diverse situations in pursuit of their own self-improvement.
In this friendship story, the author is based on the usual expression "I'm on a project...", frequently used by those who have lost everything but try to show that they are still standing, ready to restart their lives and channel their goals. Although on some occasions leaving us in doubt about the credibility of said... "project".
