Interview with Àlex Lora Cercos on The Masterpiece

It’s no secret that The Masterpiece is one of my favourite live action shorts of the year. Through a formula of superb acting, a beating score and concise script, The Masterpiece is a masterclass on tension-building and everything that the short film format should strive to be. Not a second is wasted as director Àlex Lora Cercos takes you on a roller coaster through this social commentary which he best describes as a chess match, one where we are guessing the intentions of everyone involved.
Check out our latest podcast episode where Pedro interviews Àlex and discusses techniques to build tension, the casting and production of the short and how the ever crucial location was picked out.
