El poder de la violencia en el cine no tiene fin: puede ser graciosa, puede dar miedo, puede ser trágica. A veces, puede ser todo eso al mismo tiempo, sobre todo si vives en Venezuela, uno de los países más violentos del mundo
The power of violence in film is truly endless: it can be funny, it can be scary, it can be tragic and poignant. Sometimes, it can be all of the above, specially if you live in Venezuela, one of the world's most violent countries.
Siempre me han fascinado las películas de acción, y como un niño de los 90's (una década increíble para el cine de acción) y como latino, a veces creo que no tenía opción sino hacer Fugitiva.
I've always been fascinated by action films, and as a child of the 90's (a truly excellent decade for action films) and as a latino, sometimes I feel like I had no choice but to make Fugitiva.
Fugitiva es la historia de una mujer que es apresada injustamente por un policía corrupto. Escapa, y lanza un ataque sin cuartel para obtener sangrienta venganza. Rodado en RED, con música original de género salsa y rock retumbando en el fondo, este es un tributo personal al cine de artes marciales y una labor de hormiga para todo el equipo, que diseñó y ensayó la coreografía de pelea por seis meses.
Fugitiva is the story of a woman who is wrongfully imprisoned by a corrupt cop. She escapes, and then goes on a bare-knuckled rampage to exact bloody revenge. Shot on RED, with original salsa and rock music blaring in the background, this is a personal tribute to martial arts action cinema and a true labor of love by the entire team, who designed and rehearsed the fight choreography for six months.
Parte telenovela, parte animé shonen y parte película serie B, Fugitiva es una especie de helado con bolas de cada sabor que se podía encontrar en una tienda de VHS venezolana en los 90s.
Part telenovela, part shonen anime and part grindhouse B-movie, Fugitiva is kind of a multi-scoop sundae of the stuff one would find in a Venezuelan VHS store from the 90s.
En cuanto a la historia, estábamos decididos a hacer una historia que empoderara a las mujeres de una forma que no fuera típica del género. Queríamos mostrar mujeres poderosas, geniales y hermosas que no estén sexualizadas innecesariamente, o limitadas por estándares como el glamour o la delicadeza. Tampoco queríamos que el motor argumental fuera sexual: es una trama de venganza clásica sobre poder y decencia, en lugar de explotación.
Story-wise, we were determined to make a story that's empowering for women, in a way that's not all that typical of the genre. We wanted to show powerful, cool, beautiful women who aren't needlessly sexualized, or constrained by standards like being glamourous, dainty or delicate. We also didn't want the inciting incident to be sexual in nature: it's a classic revenge plot about power and decency, rather than exploitation.
