We talk about «Redención», El Chico del 13’s first feature film

After years of making short films, our friends at El Chico del 13 are now fully immersed in their first feature film: «Redención».

Moving from shorts to a feature is not just about shooting more minutes. It changes how you organise yourselves, how you keep a crew going for weeks and how you make decisions. So we asked them (in Spanish) how they are experiencing it from the inside:

• What changes from a short to a feature?
• Is the collaborative model of a short film easy to sustain for weeks on a feature?
• How do you organise things so it does not all end in chaos?
• Have you had to professionalise processes that could be improvised on the shorts?
• What is the feature teaching you that no short film had taught you before?
• What would have to happen at the end of «Redención» for you to say it was worth it?

An honest conversation about what making the leap involves, and very useful if you are thinking about making your first feature.
