We are film students and want to make a movie! Help us achieve this goal!

"Os Encobertos" is a short fiction film made by final year students of the Degree in Cinema at Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema. Given the ambition of this cinematographic project, we need to gather more financial means, in order to ensure the different needs of the production. Any help is welcome to make the project possible! If you are interested in this project, share the crowdfunding on your social media and with your friends and family :)

 

Synopsis:

Vargas is an undercover agent whose mission is to capture  a group of robbers. The theft of a jewelry store will be the
ideal time to catch them in the act. However, Vargas's perspective changes after a conversation with Ricardo, one of the
group members, causing him to question his perspective of the enemy and making his mission much more difficult.

Note of Intent:

Towards the end of our course we wanted to challenge ourselves and become a crime film. A film that has the spectator stuck to the screen from beginning to end. The spectator will accompany this group of robbers as they question whether or not they will be caught. The film takes place in two parts, the first in which everyone is in hiding and planning the robbery. The second, the robbery! This moment, filmed in a single shot and in real time, will result in the film's climax. It's a tense scene where the characters race against the clock, with a single goal, to bring home the jewelry. But something goes wrong...

About the author

We are students of the 3rd year of Cinema at Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema, in the areas of Script, Directing, Production, Image, Sound and Editing. And as finalists, we are excited to show our skills! Your contribution will allow us to make the film with the best possible means :)

We are all very committed so that the film makes the best possible journey: going to several national and international festivals, film shows, film clubs across the country, reaching as many spectators as we can.
