A Path on Another Avenue - Final Project of Cinema and Television students at ETIC

Um Caminho na Outra Avenida is an academic short film co-directed and co-produced by Luis Eduardo Graça and Renan Tcholakian and with ETIC - School of Technologies, Innovation and Creation, still featuring the incredible original Soundtrack by Pedro Zagalo , with lyrics by Mariana Tereso .

Synopsis: A fragile, ambitious young actor with doubts about his future, at the end of the last show of the season, takes a strong introspective, emotional and musical path home, where he interacts with other characters that make him reflect on the various paths that lies ahead and which one has to abdicate, in favor of other opportunities.

What is intended with the project?

A Path on Another Avenue is a metaphor for the different paths that we have to face every day and other avenues that we have to give up, in favor of our priorities. This idea reflects the true cycle of life and the existence of a fresh start every morning.

Our life, whether professional or personal, is made up of cycles and balances that are managed through the process of making choices, some simple others more complex, but all with an opportunity cost that will bring any consequence to one of the aspects of our life.

As a rule, there are two paths that, psychologically, we will have to choose: giving up or insisting. Normally, no one wants to give up, but is it possible? Could it be that when we move forward on something, we end up giving up on something else?

A Path on Another Avenue is just that, a reflection on the game of priorities and choices that we make every day and that have a great impact on our future lives. And that, in this case, becomes significant for the character, because it is her great professional dream, in favor of her stable personal life.

We all have our dreams, ambitions and goals that are sometimes weakened by our insecurities, apprehensions and fears, in moments of decision and trying to balance all choices.

Let's say that Um Caminho na Outra Avenida serves as a motivation and an inspiration for anyone who needs to reflect on their choices and insecurities and, likewise, discover the best path for themselves to follow, in a given context and period.

Through this emotional journey and strong feelings, we follow the character between three acts that represent the doubt in the past, the insecurity of the present and the hope in the future.

Why crowdfunding?

As this project is a short film, without any associated producer and academic, we do not have enough budget for such a production. The short film, in addition to being an object of evaluation, will be a great experience for all students who participate in it, as they are involved in such an innovative production in the academic environment. We just need support, above all, for food, transport and other non-remunerative expenses for anyone.

About the author

My name is Luis Eduardo Graça, I'm 22 years old and I've been studying Film and Television at ETIC - School of Technologies, Innovation and Creation, since 2021. I have a special interest in the area of production and project development. I work, mainly, in audiovisual production in several shows, as well as in cultural events and film festivals, in Portugal.

I have always been fascinated by the musical and the audiovisual sector and it is with this project that I intend to finally combine these two aspects. After these two years producing short films, I ventured into the field of scriptwriting and directing.
