A brief description of myself Dear Mr./ Ms.: Let me introduce myself on this cover letter. My name is Jonathan Bellés, I was born in Castellón de la Plana, a Spanish little town close to Valencia city. My birth day was 21th November of 1988, so I am 26 years old. Since I was a child, I was drawing and painting. When my parent, teachers or friends asked me “What do you want to be when you grow?” I always answered “When I grow up I want to be painter”.
Points to be noted: · Ph.D. on Japanese sci- fi poswar movies (Spain-Japan) · Master of Artistic Production · Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts · Foundator of 451 Productions Main roles: · Producer and film director (storytelling, editor, post-production, mothion graphics and cameraman). · More than 8 years’ experience.
I discovered my passion early: Arts. Since I was 14, it was completly clear. I wanted to study Fine Arts. In 2006, I moved to Valencia and I enrolled at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. I could develop my creative ideas and I improve my artistic skills. However, two years before, I was shocked by movies. I always enjoyed watching movies but in 2004, I wanted to become a film director. This same year, I saw a movie that change my life. This movie was “Fahrenheit 451” (Dir.: François Truffaut, 1966). This movie tell about a early future where firemen burn books because read and think is prohibited. This movie was my inspiration and year by year, my interest on making movies was increasing on me. I wanted to be a painter of “images movement”. At the beginning of my studies, I founded my own brand called Producciones 451 (451 Prods).This name is my tribute to Truffaut’s movie. Between 2006 and 2009 I created several art videos such as “París: 1831” (2007), “Confluyentes” (2008), “Sima” (2008) and a lot of short fiction films: “El juzdado” (The Judgement, 2006), “En equipo” (2008), Friedrich & Elisabeth (2009), Mi llamada (2009) and “El baúl de los Nadas” (2009). This pieces were produced, written and directed by myself. However, I could created all this movies thank to a big reliable team that worked very hard on this short films. During those years, I learnt how work in a big team. I am completly thankful to all of them.
At the middle of 2009, I had the opportunity to produce and shoot my first documentary film. It was in Bruxelles (Belgium) and the topic was on one of my favourite painters: René Magritte. After organize a Belgian-Spanish team, we shot the documentary with the support of the Musée René Magritte. The documentary was finished in 2010 and was finalist in Media Fest (Canarias, Spain) and was deposited at the Library of the Moderm Museum of Art in New York from 2013. I finished my studies in 2011 in Fine Arts and my Master of Artistic Production (UPV) in 2012. During both years, I directed my firsts dance videos titled “L’ennéagramme” (2011) and “Tres llums” (Three lights, 2012). In 2013, I began my Ph.D. project on Kaiju Eiga (Japanese monster movies) because since I was a child, I was fascinated by the relation between Godzilla and the trauma after the bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In 2014, I went to Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama and Hiroshima city to investigate about this topic interviewing to 20 authorities; film directors, composer, professors from Waseda University, actors from the orginal Godzilla movie made in 1954, etc. This was one of my dreams accomplished. Since 2013, I planed to create a new documentary about the origins of Godzilla and now, I am working very hard in this project. Probably, my team and me, we will create an international co-production to finish the film. In addition, since 2009 until now, Producciones 451 was increasing day by day. I’ve had a lof of clients from public or private sector. Our goals were producing corporate videos including pre-production, production and post-production processes. Motion graphics, 3D animations, social media, development of web site are included. Reading my own words, I can say I am so satisfied on my trayectory. I hope person what is reading me can enjoy my brief description and my work what I am displaying on this dossier. Let me show you my particulary world through images. As Steven Spielberg said: “I don’t dream during the night, I dream every days. I dream to life”. 3

We see actors embodying the painter Magritte, his wife Georgette Berger, and their circle of artist friends and family. The script is based on the original letters of the couple Magritte, which are preseved thanks to the René Magritte Museum, that is located today in the painters house in the Jette District of Brussels. Original testimonies come from Arlette Leclerq, a neighbour of the Magrittes, and André Garrite, an arts collector and the acting director of the Museum. The film’s added value lies aslo in the re-creation of Magritte’s most representative works through digital 3D effects, by using panoramic shots that will show how the atmosphere of the house influenced his paintings.
