In just under five days, the crew was able to transport our paleolithic story into 5 distinct environments that would be impossible to find around the globe or replicate in the open field. TLAF gives us a glance at the earth's appearance during the pre-ice age paleolithic era. From an earthy march surrounded by active volcanoes to a swampy forest with mammoth carcasses, the film uses the power of In-Camera VFX(ICVFX) to transport the audience to a paleolithic era that had never been showcased before. <img width="1620" height="1080" width_o="1620" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/21c3c06b8f8b77c4d6413ba9efb9e64cee2cf9d8deb69dd13e88b351f1c8d8ca/Infante_Lion_Firebird_20220119_0002.jpg" data-mid="181864000" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/21c3c06b8f8b77c4d6413ba9efb9e64cee2cf9d8deb69dd13e88b351f1c8d8ca/Infante_Lion_Firebird_20220119_0002.jpg" /> <img width="1620" height="1080" width_o="1620" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4df758cf9626f0fbdc5d7c82d3de40dc67e2a2424e478d89a8026142ca5b3df6/DSCF6233.jpg" data-mid="181863999" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4df758cf9626f0fbdc5d7c82d3de40dc67e2a2424e478d89a8026142ca5b3df6/DSCF6233.jpg" /> Trailer More information Behind the Scenes at Dark Tower Films Ambassador Story at LitepanelsSloan Science &amp; Film Case study by the producer included in the book&nbsp;Real-Time Video Content for Virtual Production, Mixed Reality and Live Entertainment https://fergzlz.com/The-Devil-on-Screen Tue, 09 May 2023 20:29:49 +0000 Fer González - Portfolio https://fergzlz.com/The-Devil-on-Screen <img width="3120" height="1645" width_o="3120" height_o="1645" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ed1a13d3e182af6026cf701f4e3aca78c2bf942f3bb5e07ff2fe3d98a3b04764/Devil-on-Screen_stills_-014.jpg" data-mid="178263042" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ed1a13d3e182af6026cf701f4e3aca78c2bf942f3bb5e07ff2fe3d98a3b04764/Devil-on-Screen_stills_-014.jpg" /> The Devil on Screen 18 min, United States (2023) Satirical fantasy short film Writer &amp; Director: Felix van KannProducers: Fer González, Valeria ContrerasDirector of Photography: Sam MotamediEditor: Aiman MimikoComposer: Sam Best Cast: Mark Shock, Shannon Haskell, Michel Vidal, Steph Van Vlack, Thomas Grube, Chris Blanco, Adam Langdon After the Devil enters a bet against God over whether or not humanity can be corrupted, he teams up with the young software engineer Annie to build his doomsday device: the first social media platform. <img width="3120" height="1645" width_o="3120" height_o="1645" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/247b8c3bedd9e78b7ef8d68a16469c7660c1d3655d7d3499b09048de7b228ea1/Devil-on-Screen_stills_-012.jpg" data-mid="178263041" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/247b8c3bedd9e78b7ef8d68a16469c7660c1d3655d7d3499b09048de7b228ea1/Devil-on-Screen_stills_-012.jpg" /> <img width="3120" height="1645" width_o="3120" height_o="1645" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8703c18f35b98a5bbc5a70d9cb430de3ee88a11bad607ff90fba15a2050cb5b1/Devil-on-Screen_stills_-002.jpg" data-mid="178263039" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8703c18f35b98a5bbc5a70d9cb430de3ee88a11bad607ff90fba15a2050cb5b1/Devil-on-Screen_stills_-002.jpg" /> https://fergzlz.com/Birthday-Party Tue, 09 May 2023 20:29:49 +0000 Fer González - Portfolio https://fergzlz.com/Birthday-Party <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea1289c1388e4e77ac8380a3decca24e48fd43958e45994ebe24bda753c29541/A005_A009_0128PV.00_01_23_18.Still001.jpg" data-mid="178355165" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea1289c1388e4e77ac8380a3decca24e48fd43958e45994ebe24bda753c29541/A005_A009_0128PV.00_01_23_18.Still001.jpg" /> Birthday Party (or the revenge of the step-daughter) 12 min, Chile &nbsp; Coming-of-age Writer &amp; Director: Anastasia AyaziProducers: Samuel Buzeta, Fer González, Josefina LabánDirector of Photography: Manuel Vlastélica Editor:&nbsp; Sebastián Salfate Production Design:&nbsp; Carolina Lazo Cast: Ema Godoy, Camila Hirane, Olivia Vargas, Benjamín Westfall, Clemente Rodriguez, Francisca Imboden Set just before the turn of the 21st century, this is the story of a young girl dealing with a new family.

He graduated from Columbia University's film program with an MFA in Creative Producing. His passion for technology allowed him to travel in time to film a paleolithic action-adventure short film titled The Lion and the Firebird. It was the first independently produced student film to leverage real-time virtual production on an LED stage. The film has been selected for top genre festivals such as Screamfest, Filmquest, and Atlanta Horror Film Festival. Fernando's other films tackle diversity, identity, and the Latine experience. His work in genre and Latine films poses the question, "How can we imagine a better future through laughter, scares, and hope?" His most recent work includes The Devil on Screen, a satirical fantasy short film in which the devil tries to win a bet against God by corrupting society with the invention of the first social media website. By day, Fernando is a film executive assistant and an independent producer developing genre films. By night, you can find him role-playing in a Dungeons and Dragons game or immersed in the latest video game. He is a BAFTA Newcomer, a Fulbright Alumni, and a CONACYT-Cultura Scholarship recipient. Additionally, he has won a couple of online multiplayer matches in his lifetime.
