At SummerWorks 2013:
Amerindian filmmaker and playwright Alejandro Valbuena tells the story of a future dystopian GTA where conception can be currency and, at times, the price for freedom. “I'm driven by the idea of telling my, our, own stories from our point of view. Camila's Bones is a story that speaks of my ancestry, the importance of honoring blood, tradition and identity, while dealing with the idea of an elite-controlled society.”
In her debut SummerWorks role, Fiorella Pennano plays Camila, a young foreign worker who escapes from a City’s labour-camp to find herself a banned contract as surrogate mother. Citizenship, class struggles, immigration, and the politics of the human body collide in an unnerving story that will leave you wondering how far away the future really is.
SummerWorks veteran Anita La Selva, director of NOW Magazine’s pick for Outstanding Direction and Production for A Soldier’s Story (SummerWorks 2008), directs an ensemble cast in this gripping drama, including Edsson Morales, Lucy Filipino, Angela Besharah, Stephen Bogaert, Braulio Eliecer, and Sandy MacDonald.
Joining the creative team are set designer Trevor Schwellnus, lighting designer Melissa Joakim and costume/prop designer Natalia Cortez Thomsem.
