Francisco Bendomir

As a dedicated fan of musicals from a young age, I memorized the lyrics to every song from every animated film that was released between 1994 and 2001. From 2002 to 2008, I made it my mission to watch every single movie available at my local Blockbuster in downtown Buenos Aires, even the ones in the art film section. I have pursued degrees in literature, translation, and film studies, but trying to stay true to my reputation for being a bad student, I didn't finish any of them. I have written, directed, and produced a web series that was nominated for a Martin Fierro Award (the Argentine Emmy), and three short films and a feature that screened, among others, at Raindance, Buenos Aires Independent International Film Festival, BIFAN, Sao Paulo International Short Film Festival, New Orleans Film Festival, Dances with Films and Fantasporto, where I also served as a member of the jury. I'm currently working as a producer at Brillito Ltd. and writing the screenplay for my next feature film, which kicks off with a teenager waking up on a spaceship run by a cult.
