(El Descubrimiento)

2009

TRAILER

(coming soon)

Destiny will test the relationship between a father and his son who are forced to cope with life after the death of the mother.

The Finding has been official selection in over 20 international film festivals around the world, taking 5 international awards, including the “Speak Out Against Domestic Violence” Humanitarian Award at Expresion en Corto, becoming the only Latin-American director to receive an award that year. The Finding was recently invited to be a part of the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, considered as one of the best cinematographic expressions against domestic violence.

Alonso has a rare gift of story-telling with very little dialogue. This makes the words spoken more precious and the images more meaningful. He provides character development using our senses and emotions, and contrasts the abundance of nature with what can be a stark poverty of the human condition. The fact that this is his second work of art makes this film that much more impressive. I look forward to the continuation of his work and am grateful for his heart-felt efforts.
