Urban just sent me your video and I want first to congratulate you because you are making progress in their work and also because it shows perseverance, seriousness and desire to excel, I am sure that this formula will give good results in a few years.
On the video, Lima as the big picture is something I always like it because I am going to Lima and I identify fully with the reality of this city, but I have reviews I would like to ask the producers of this work, always with the aim of provide, hoping they will serve for future achievements:
Something that I find very important: be very careful when they decide to film a pauper or a beggar. They are not "animals", people with no name and no rights that we use to give some content to the image of our work, much less whether that work will be published and disseminated. We can not film them cheerfully on the pretext of making a complaint. If you want to report, why do not tell their parents, their grandparents, mothers, brothers? The poor or beggars can not be filmed whenever we feel like to get the message: look how miserable is he, how unfair. Or you would like someone with more resources than you do the same with you or with your father?
I think it is justified to shoot the street when a subject wants to highlight social injustice, but is not the case of this video, because I walk central issue is: I keep walking, I paint the world in its exact color, I'm underground because I showed I can be commercial and I am not satisfied, ME. Is a representative, to fit on one representative use poor people to "decorate" or "report", especially because one representative (and this in particular) the complaint is only an afterthought.
Along the same lines: What is about the unfortunate event of Bagua with the track? Bagua is something that hurts, an open wound for many, Peruvian casualties on both sides, with politicians who are going lanyard but will have to face justice when the government runs out (and I hope the cops pay with their stupidity ), the Bagua is a tragedy that is not going to forget, but ... what has to do with the principal?
The filmmakers should have some use of semiotics to know that sometimes, instead of helping or add, subtract or trivializes an important event bringing the image of its context.
Well, with all this preamble, I hope I have awakened the desire to see this new work of Urban and show in some way or another because you are seeking support to develop. Check ...
