EL FATHER PLAYS HIMSELF
"A father and son return to the Amazon jungle to shoot a deeply personal film. Fiction and reality clash as father plays himself."
Directed by Mo Scarpelli
A young film director returns to Venezuela, inspired to make a film based on his father's life in the Amazon jungle (La Fortaleza, Jorge Thielen Armand). He casts Father to play himself. What starts as an act of love and ambition — filmmaking to more deeply understand the self, and the other — spirals into a process which confronts Father’s struggles with addiction and his life devoid of his son.
