General information

THE PROJECT

Es cuestión de sangre is a short film that we are making as our Final Degree Project at the film school, ESCAC. It is a dystopian story to criticize communitarianism, racism and xenophobia. It is told through a Spanish-Moroccan family living in a Europe where a new model of apartheid society has been created after a series of attacks in the old continent. With this topic we want to make it clear that we are judged more by our identity than by what we do and that overcoming hatred with more hatred only creates more of the same.

To tell this story, we must have the necessary resources to make this dystopian world come true before the viewer, and that the whole development process of the short film we are carrying out can be materialized. In order to obtain the best result desired by the whole team that is making this project possible, we need your help to finance the shooting of our short film and cover all those essential aspects, from on set meals for the team to technical equipment, and thus be able to make this idea a reality, which we have been working on for so long.
Here we tell you more about the short film and all that it will involve!

SYNOPSIS

The terrorist attacks of the 2010s escalated to the point where terrorism destroyed European symbols such as the Eiffel Tower, leaving a huge scar on Europe. This created a peak of racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia, which gave rise to a new system in the EU, the Apartheid. European cities are separated by ethnic groups forcing some to work in deplorable conditions. Karim and Nuria are Spanish-Moroccan siblings from the city of Barcelona who will be separated by a world that does not understand miscegenation. Both siblings and their father Jaume will have to do everything possible to reunite their family.

ABOUT GOTEO AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS

Goteo is a crowdfunding platform that allows you to support projects of all kinds, and in this way, make the goals of those who are involved in them a reality, therefore, it is perfect for Es cuestión de sangre.
Engaging with Goteo has its advantages. Thus, by getting involved in our project, you are allowed to deduct between 35% and 80% of the amount of your donation (in Spain). In order to carry out this process, you will have to fill out a tax valid document provided by Goteo that justifies the tax deductibility of your donations, so that you can present it to the tax authorities for deductions to be applied. You can learn more about this procedure here.

*It is important to remember that this only applies to Spain, and in the case of the Basque Country and Navarra the deduction of the donation continues to be maintained between 30% and 25% respectively of the total amount contributed.

Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign

We are making this short film as part of our Final Degree Project, so the school's production company, ESCAC Films, provides us with the necessary support to push it forward and make it possible. So, during this last academic year, we are focusing on working on all the aspects that make it up with the aim of filming it in mid-April. We have a series of tutors, teachers and industry professionals who are helping us along the way and advising us so that the short film reaches its best possible result.

Even so, making a project of this kind, involves a series of expenses and needs that must be covered to meet our goals and reach the level of satisfaction desired by the whole team. Thus, this crowdfunding will help us getting the right and ideal resources that allow us to tell this story, such as the day to day on set needs to take care and get around all of our team involved, as well as all kinds of equipment to help shape the dystopian world we want to present on screen.

Why this is important

The director is Kenan El Mamoune, a student at ESCAC, who, like his characters, is of mixed race, with a Mexican mother and a French-Moroccan father. That is why he has known different aspects of the hatred and rancor that Es Cuestión de Sangre talks about Although born in California, United States, Kenan has been living in the city of Barcelona for several years and has been able to know many episodes of racism in his new city, reason enough to lead him to talk about these issues in a short film. This story is taken to a dystopian environment in order to make a hyperbole and to convey the seriousness of the problems that human relations entail when they are centered on an ethnic aspect.

After our years of career in ESCAC, we as a team want this project to serve us as a way to show everything we have learned both academically and personally, and to use it as a tool to start introducing ourselves into the professional world. During this laborious path, we have learned that optimal teamwork is crucial for the proper development of such projects, so with this short film we intend to continue promoting this type of dynamic, and therefore, that with the combined effort and dedication of each person involved we can meet our goals and push Es cuestión de sangre as far as possible.

With this short film we want to reach all those viewers who can identify with the story, that is, anyone who may have felt excluded because of who they are in a world that is afraid of what is different. As well as an audience able to empathize with the message we want to convey, and thus achieve awareness of the social issues addressed. We intend to reach the maximum possible scope and that all kinds of people can be part of our point of view.

Team and experience

The whole team is made by students from ESCAC and other film schools in Barcelona, having between 3 and 4 years of experience provided by their studies. We are a team that knows each other well having worked on different film projects in the past, and as mentioned before, we firmly believe that good teamwork and the personal vision of each member is helping us to make this whole process possible. Thus, the motivation and commitment of each one of us is mainly what is driving the project forward.
