More About This Project

Silencio

Manuela has just come to a painful realization: she’s been living her entire life locked inside a room — without ever knowing it. There was never a reason to leave. Inside, she had everything she thought she needed — her paintings, her sketches, her bed, her tape recorder… and her only friend.

But this friend holds a secret — they’re the only one who knows how to get in and out. And in that truth lies something darker: the person she trusts most is also the one keeping her confined.

A story about control, comfort, and the quiet prisons we sometimes mistake for home.

Silencio is a project that holds a special place in my heart — not just for the story we told, but for the process behind it. Unlike other projects where I stepped in solely as a director, this time I had the chance to write and produce as well.

That deeper involvement gave me a broader perspective on the craft and the industry as a whole. More importantly, it allowed me to build a stronger, more meaningful connection with the incredible team that brought it to life.
