Mabel Valdiviezo

We just finished a new draft of Soledad’s Awakening.  It is a great day for me and Cesar  Viana Teague (my partner and co-writer).  We went over every scene and piece of dialogue that needed work.  At times,  when I felt a character wasn’t resolving, I would ask my dreams to tell me what to do.  And my subconscious would actually answer with a whole scene!  Cesar would also come up with very visual ideas and dialogue that would make our scenes and characters more compelling and dimensional.

Now the whole film feels like a truly political thriller with moody tones,  gothic scapes and surreal nightmares.  I can’t wait to test some of the key scenes with the fine actors from the Directing Actors Workshop I am attending.

I recently had an interview with Indieflix.  I speak about my life in Peru, how I became a filmmaker and why I am making Soledad’s Awakening (new title for our feature).http://indieflix.typepad.com
