Solar Cinema, a dynamic and independent film production company from Colombia, is thrilled to announce the launch of a crowdfunding campaign for their latest film, “Semilla del Desierto” (Seed of the Desert). This exceptional cinematic venture, directed by Sebastián Parra R and produced by Andrés Gómez D, has already begun production with support from the Colombian Cinematic Development Fund.
“Semilla del Desierto” is a film that breaks conventional boundaries with its unique narrative style, utilizing 33 single-sequence shots, primarily under natural light, amidst the stunning landscapes of northern Colombia. This technique creates an immersive and raw cinematic experience.
Directed by Sebastián Parra R, “Semilla del Desierto” delves into the poignant theme of premature loss of innocence, a universal issue that transcends geographical borders. Set in a dystopian universe, the film tells the harrowing story of Chelina and Caviche, young individuals caught in a desperate struggle for love and survival as kamikaze gasoline smugglers.
Parra R’s vision for this film is to present a narrative that is as real as it is raw, shedding light on the darker, often hidden aspects of society. The movie’s single-sequence shot style not only challenges cinematic norms but also brings an intense authenticity to the storytelling.
Thanks to the film’s artistic and technical expertise in sound and imagery, viewers are drawn into an oppressive and suffocating atmosphere. The vast desert landscape becomes an invisible prison, while the dialogue and performances engage the audience in the unfolding drama.
Though Solar Cinema has received initial funding, further support is essential. The crowdfunding campaign, running from November 7 through December 20 on Seed & Spark, offers a chance to contribute to this remarkable project.
Joining the “SOLAR COMMUNITY” by contributing to this campaign means more than just financial support; it’s a chance to become part of a groundbreaking Latin American cinematic project. Rewards for backers include social media mentions, private screening passes, credits recognition, and exclusive collector’s items like the film’s soundtrack and a limited edition book.
