“This masterclass has the objective of condensing and sharing everything learned in almost ten years of work as a scriptwriter and documentary director. The creative processes of real productions will be explained, from which we will be able to reflect on the numerous ways of approaching the documentary genre. A genre determined by our gaze and our commitment to reality.” Jorge Laplace
