Red Cockroaches explores the dark side of human nature and the mysteries of an alternative reality. I'm interested in creating a sensorial experience while asking questions that haunt you and not killing the mystery by answering them. If you try to explain a dream it will stop haunting you, and that feeling can be beautiful, even if its a nightmare.

The strategy was not to have the same camera angle used twice in the film. I believe that every moment in a film has its own meaning and therefore I don't believe in cutting back to the same angle. Instead a different setup should be used to express a different message. With this in mind I storyboarded the aproximately 1500 shots of the film.

I think I am one of the biggest fans of Digital Video. It has allowed me remain creative without having to worry too much about the financial resources. There was no other way since no producer would ever want to invest in a project like this. However, growing up and learning filmmaking in Cuba provided excellent training in achieving great results under the most difficult conditions.
