brain today and with three quick

0:17

questions about Florida Lamarr as you

0:20

guys may know he’s a director so we’re

0:22

going to start off at the back with the

0:24

first question is how or what is the

0:27

message that you’d like to leave with

0:29

the movie tonight

0:31

brother Lamar is a story about

0:34

abandonment but ultimately it’s a story

0:37

that Lisa leaves the audience with a

0:40

metaphor on how oil can put a final end

0:44

to Venezuela especially for what’s going

0:47

on today so that’s great um the second

0:50

question for us is how do you yourself

0:52

as you know director of Florida Lamar

0:53

and as an artistic person how do you

0:56

find inspirations to tell these kind of

0:58

stories behind you know the camera I

1:01

find inspiration in the personal and

1:05

emotional connection that I have to

1:07

subjects or people yeah in the case of

1:12

Rhoda Lamar the main character they

1:14

archaeologist he’s my grandfather

1:16

and that’s why I was able to to go there

1:18

and I was telling the story through him

1:21

but for me was also a way to reconnect

1:23

with my grandfather and reconnect with

1:24

my roots that’s a venezuelan okay and

1:27

the last question for our viewers

1:29

tonight is if there could be one word or

1:31

a phrase that you could use to sum up

1:34

your film what would that be

1:40

the story of a community of fishermen

1:43

fighting to protect the ruins of the

1:46

first European city that was built in

1:47

South America

1:48
