erman was really brave and<br />

did an amazing job staying in<br />

his character without showing<br />

any fear of the ocean. On the<br />

contrary, he always seemed at<br />

ease in his boat.<br />

One other very difficult task<br />

thanks for their time, effort<br />

and talent, creating such<br />

marvelous opportunities for<br />

filmmakers, and opening up<br />

such a great channel for us to<br />

share our work and thoughts<br />

in such an extraordinary film<br />

festival!<br />

for me was to give direction to<br />

our fisherman as I was pulling<br />

focus while the camera assistant<br />

was vomiting on my legs<br />

in the boat! We had to be out<br />

in the ocean in little boats for<br />

hours, as our base camp was<br />

about thirty minutes away, so<br />

we could not travel back to<br />

land every time we had people<br />

that were seasick. These<br />

are just some of the things<br />

that went on during this project.<br />

Finally, I want to say a big<br />

thank you to Jane Steuerwald<br />

and all the people at <strong>Black</strong><br />

<strong>Maria</strong>. They have been wonderful!<br />

I cannot say enough<br />

Being a Mexican director I<br />

could not wish for more than<br />

to continue building bridges<br />

like this one between our two<br />

beautiful countries.<br />

A big hug from Mexico,<br />

If you had the chance to see<br />

Ulises, I hope you liked my<br />

it yet, and to avoid further<br />

spoilers, here is the link:<br />
