PB (Lobby) BY Pedro Blanco-Uribe
Contest Name: The Phone Call Submission Date :07-31-2018, Uploaded By : Pedro Blanco-Uribe
Directed By :  Pedro Blanco-Uribe, Filmmaker,,
Inspiration: “PB” Was made in Caracas in 2 shooting days. It is my first work as a Director and Screenwriter. I shot in 35mm in spite of the low budget. I worked on a 2:1 basis in order to finís all shots without using more Film. Than i had calculated. That in why many shots of the movie are unique. The time we had for pre-production was very toght, so in order to optimize it i rehearsed the choreography with the actors few days befote the shooting. In our second day we made 58 shots in 16 shooting hours. My biggest fear was the soundtrack. I know it placed a very important role beacuse the store has no dialogs but a couple of voice over. De rest is folie, backgrounds sounds and music. Salsa music is an important narrative element in the store. That is why I had to compose and direct the orchesta. It was a great experience.
