Tradduction BY Nate Bower
Contest Name: Lost in Translation Submission Date :11-20-2017, Uploaded By : Nate Bower
Directed By :  Nate Bower, Filmmaker,,
Inspiration: Gordon and I sat down and talked about what being lost in translation would be like if translation used the verb form 'change or conversion to another form'. Tradducction (Spanish for translation) is special for me as a father, whose daughter and friends, are growing up in a different world than I did in relation to gender and identity. It was a fantastic experience to film, with a great crew (minus 20 Celsius for the exterior shoot and not one complaint), and actors that nailed their performances on every single take. I truly hope you enjoy this film - Nate. (Also, I know I put in that the film is 3:60 when it's actually 4:59, but there isn't a way to put in 4 minutes...)
