I would like to add a note from the FILM DIRECTOR whom turned out to be an already facebook friend of mine (I recognized her after seeing her name in the film). I contacted her and said thank you so much for the film of Agujeta and Moraito, here is her reply translated to english:
quote:
Dominique Abel: Thank you Ahmad! I think yesterday ... How happy was at the time, because the concentration of the shoot-not prevent me from enjoying the contrary, my receptivity was high than we gave both Manuel: Manuel de los Santos Shepherds "AGUJETAS" and Manuel Moreno Junquera "Moraíto" 1st ... I had dreamed, then was happening ... it was not easy to convince Manuel to sing in a rock nearby, and not in a theater. And I did not want a public theater or a big place, but a small space with those of his land they felt that song, it tasted like no other, then engaged with his receptivity. It was something I wanted to reflect: flamenco as lived by the amateur who is not a passive spectator and the artist feels and needs. Like to know and feel this song so much, I wanted to Moraíto to accompany him, as he did ... Luckily I did not know I had it was my absolute 1st performance, And trust me, let me do what I wanted, how he loved him (shoot in Super16 in B and N, with a team led by me, ultra small and very motivated, etc.) and that is what was very clear, as for OTHER MOVIES. But that total respect for the project as it takes in who is going to perform, have not returned. It is 1 of the reasons why "Agujetas, singer" has a unit, a greater consistency between what little you can do so far.
