Primus A robot story.

Primus was shot largely in the Loasur Studios who are par.cipa.ng in the movie as co-­‐ producers. This is a sci-­‐fi short film full of state-­‐of-­‐the-­‐art CGI. Two produc.on teams have been working on this project, born in Valencia and produced in Malaga.

Short Film: In late September, we started shoo.ng Primus in the Loasur Produc.on Centre in Coin, Andalusia. The seeng is Valencia in 2060, where a lot has changed!

Valencia in 2060… much has changed. In this society, children have fun in their own way. Alice, the heroin in this story, amuses herself by hun.ng small first and second-­‐ genera.on robots in a world where such machines are considered junk. Alice is a very smart girl, but lives a somewhat special situa.on at home. Alice hates adults and hates her tutor. She's 13 and her tutor is ... a robot.

Primus is a short film directed by Ferran Brooks. Brooks is the only Spanish filmmaker who has won the Panavision New Filmmaker Award. This pres.gious award was given to filmmakers like Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights) and Steven Soderberg (Ocean's Eleven, Traffic, Erin Brokovich) when they were star.ng in the film business.

Juanma Liceras directs PlayStation spot "As Real As Life" Adver=sing. The big news for us in August was PlaySta.on -­‐ a brand that we love so much -­‐ on-­‐boarding an original idea generated by Juanma Liceras, an old friend of ours and a regular contributor to Euromedia projects. PlaySta.on's interest meant that one of our brightest directors was accepted into the select group chosen by PlaySta.on to produce product adver.sements, which by the way, we are currently filming. "As Real As Life", features the impeccable cinematographic work of Antonio Belon.

This new adver.sement blends talent, lots of ac.on choreography and, numerous visual and special effects designed by Amador Rehak.

"Ver, Begin” a book by Ricardo Mena Book Teaser: We are very happy with the outcome of this book teaser, which is full of fantasy and features effects designed by Juanma Liceras. I will add that we thoroughly enjoyed recording "Ver, Begin" in the private library of my dear uncle Cristobal Cuevas.

WriSen by Ricardo Mena, “Ver, Begin” provides an opportunity for the author to present evidence to the reader which forces once again a central ques.on: who was William Shakespeare in reality?
