The School of Cinema of the University Miguel Hernández
(UMH) of Elche finished its third edition with the recording of the short film
"Hell West". This shooting, carried out during this week at the
facilities of the Funwest of El Campello, has had the participation of more
than 40 people between actors and technical team. The UMH Film School is a
training program whose objective is to complement the academic training of the
students of the degrees in Audiovisual Communication and Fine Arts of the UMH.
According to the organizers, the short is a fantastic
western, written and directed by the filmmaker Fran Mateu. It tells the story
of a sheriff who is the victim of an Indian curse because of his brother. In
the cast are actresses like Rebeca Sala, who will participate in the last film
of Fernando Colomo; Silvia Conesa, Morgan Blasco or Fele Pastor.
The UMH Film School aims to enhance the practical
learning of students and enable them to live real cinematic experiences where
they work hand in hand with professionals from the sector and with teachers in
the creation of audiovisual productions in the field of fiction.
The School of Cinema is directed by UMH professors
Guillermo López Aliaga and Mario-Paul Martínez Fabre and has the collaboration
of the Vice-Rector of Culture and University Extension of the UMH, the Faculty
of Social and Legal Sciences of Elche, the Department of Art, the Degrees in
Audiovisual Communication and Fine Arts, the Social Council, the Service of
Innovation and Technical Support to Teaching and Research (SIATDI) and the
Communication Service of the UMH.
Last year, the School of Cinema of the University Miguel
Hernández (UMH) of Elche finalized his second edition with the recording of the
short film "Mírame". This shoot, which involved about 40 people
between actors and technical team, was held in Alicante. The short belongs to
the genre of the drama, with touches of psychological terror, and tells the
story of Rocío Hernández, a mother willing to do everything to cure her
daughter's illness.
For his part, Fran Mateu recently participated in the
Film Festival of Elche with the short film "Hidden Devil", which has
occupied several years of his life. "We had to build sets, use special
effects of makeup, prosthetics ... We shot it in Sax, but teams from Madrid and
Barcelona intervened. Before all this, we had to do a crowdfunding campaign to
get the necessary funding, "explains the author, who in turn is director
of the Fanta Elx Festival.
