" Rosa's Dream Sequence"


Rosa and Executioner is the latest film of Ivan Acosta, director of a great projects, such as "Amigos", "The Super" and documentaries like "Como se Forma una Rumba and "Candido Hands of Fire".

Rosa's film tell the story of a old jewish lady who lives in front of the UN building, in some point she is kidnapped buy this guy who plans this dangerous mission. Shot on location in NYC the editing is taking place right now and i have the amazing task to make this story happen, On the course of this blog i will keep you updated of what's going on with the film. At this point im in the middle of the movie and im doing really good making the rhythm and develop the character in the way that Ivan feel is right, with my help im putting the most interesting styles on screen, of course im getting inspired for all my favorite editors of all time to make a good job. I will do some kind of post-production diaries about what is going on.

My first note is called " Rosa's Dream Sequence"
Of course i can't say anything else about the plot right now, but the movie is very challenging because, everything happen in an apartment in NYC and that's great, keep the suspense, drama and the funny moments makes you a better editor, you don't have open spaces or action, only in rooms. I was editing last week a dream sequence that make me do a lot of research, i got inspired on Apocalypse Now, The Fifth Element, and Natural Born Killers, so my favorite editors where involved on this, the sound, the lighting and Gabriel's performance make it even more interesting, after a week working on that become a scene that i will never forget. Ivan reviewed and just make 3 changes, it means that the process is doing good we can have a actual cut in no time.

That's the report for today.

See ya!
