This film presents another challenge in terms of language and filming. Can you imagine how we did the shooting, the camera movements? That was our biggest challenge in producing this film. After shooting CUTE CUTE, another challenge was editing the film: the editor spent long, long days editing the special effects on a notebook DELL G15 5511 G Series; memória: 500GB, NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3050, 6GB, GDDR6; Processador Intel Core i7, 13ª geração (i7 - 13650HX). This film has no Ai use: only practical and special effects.

Despite this brief commentary about the film, I would like to leave a statement about independent cinema.

Dear friends and cinema lovers

We are an independent film production company in Brazil, predominantly composed of women (teachers), with a clear and urgent mission: to craft new cinematic narratives, build virtual learning environments, and push the boundaries of multimedia storytelling.

At the heart of our work lies our Research and Development Center, dedicated to pioneering teaching methodologies and hypermedia tools. Our goal is to create disruptive films, documentaries, and audiovisual content that serve as powerful educational resources—training educators who, in turn, transform communities through social development and foundational education programs in Brazil.

But we do more than produce films. We build opportunities.

We have established a Technical Training Program in Cinema and Audiovisual Production, providing essential education for screenwriters, filmmakers, and producers—particularly for young people in vulnerable social conditions who, without this initiative, might never have access to filmmaking. Our commitment goes beyond teaching; we are breaking barriers and democratizing cinema as a tool for transformation.

Our journey is not just about making films; it is about challenging a socio-economic system that alienates, dehumanizes, and erodes identity. Through our films, we strive to rediscover the essence of humanity, the transcendent, and cinema as an Art that awakens and elevates.

We are storytellers. Storytellers are healers. Our mission is to reveal the divine nature of human beings through Art and to stand against the forces that perpetuate ideological, physical, mental, and spiritual enslavement.

We know the road is not easy. The obstacles are countless. But we will not stop.

The recognition we receive from festivals is not just an encouragement—it is proof that our approach to filmmaking as a MANIFESTO, as EDUCATION MEDIUM, as a GATEWAY for new voices and awakened minds is not only necessary, but essential.

And now, we look ahead. We are ready to take our work beyond borders and seek international partnerships.

We are looking for passionate filmmakers willing to collaborate in the formation of a Technical Center for Cinematic Production, as well as opportunities to co-produce, expand projects abroad, or work with production companies worldwide that align with our vision.

We also seek professional opportunities for contract work abroad as screenwriters, directors, or editors. Our team is eager to contribute to projects that align with our values and artistic approach, bringing unique perspectives and strong storytelling to international productions.

We need your active collaboration:
- Can you help us connect with potential partners?
- Can you introduce our project to those who share our passion?
- Can you help us access professional opportunities abroad—whether through co-productions, partnerships, or work contracts in film and media?

Below, you will find a link to explore our work, including an article we wrote for an International Conference on Art and Comunication about the NPCINE project. (https://publication.avanca.org/index.php/avancacinema/article/view/519/1020)

If you could take a few moments to learn about our mobilization, training and filmmaking strategies, we would be deeply grateful.

With gratitude, best regards
