Sundance US Narrative Short Film
"Boi de Conchas (The Shell Covered Ox)"
While mourning her missing sister, Rayane balances helping her fisherman father and practicing for the school's music festival – provided she doesn't become an ox first, a misfortune assailing several teenagers in the area.
About the Filmmaker: Prolific critically acclaimed, award winning filmmaker and Slamdance alumni, Daniel Barosa is no stranger to the world stage with films released in both Argentina & Brazil. Embracing the history, culture and traditions of Bertioga, Brazil, the film's location, Barosa explores the societal evolution of Brazil inspired by the powerful folklore tale with its metaphors – talking about grief and depression through the eyes of a younger generation. A cinematic sibling to “The Happening,” Barosa shows audiences and Hollywood that he is a filmmaker to watch.
About The Film and it’s Folklore Origins: Boi de Conchas borrows its title from a folkloric manifestation born in Ubatuba, Brazil, about an Ox named Ratambufe. The animal longed to see the ocean, but its owner consistently failed to fulfill his promise. Ratambufe eventually flees into the sea to escape its actual fate: the slaughterhouse. Brazil is the country of the future that never arrives and is one of the largest cattle producers in the world. Thus, this tale acquires a curious note, not to say sad.
Fast-forward a couple of years. Intense crises in Brazil permeate the social, political, and economic spheres. Emotional distance has become the norm, depression among young people is a way of life, and extreme principles govern adults. However, nothing explains the mysterious cases of teenagers who disappear and, as gossip has it, turn into oxen.
Despite this austere world, Rayane remains determined to honor her missing sister's memory. This story is about grief, using a fantasy premise to draw attention to issues such as depression, broken homes, and the challenges Brazil faces in the post-pandemic world. The film conjectures, with a small dose of humor, what might come to be – internet data becomes currency, prescription medication becomes candy, and teenagers become so resigned to their fate that they resemble silent oxen grazing in the fields.
Musical Influences for the Film & Soundtrack: Most of the music we hear in the film is from the Brazilian death metal band Krisiun. The band was formed in the 90's and since then gathered a cult following, touring Europe, the U.S. and releasing 9 studio albums. Signed with Century Media, they were incredibly generous to let us use some of their songs in the short. Their music potentializes the protagonist's state of mind: despite the calm exterior, a raging storm roars inside.
iThe additional original score was beautifully performed by Thiago Klein, a talented musician who's played in the bands Quarto Negro and Yatho. He was one of the main characters in the musical documentary GRU-PDX, which is also directed by Daniel Barosa. That film takes a deep dive into the eclectic music scene in Portland, Oregon, while the band Quarto Negro records their first studio album in the city. The film has interviews with bands and musicians from The Dandy Warhols, Portugal. The Man, Menomena, and Lumineers.

Confronting Your Past Helps You on the Road to Your Future
Micheal B. Jordan’s directorial debut ‘Creed III” takes you on the emotional journey of Adonis (Michael B, Jordon) and Damian Anderson (Jonatha Majors) as they confront their shared past, while Creed enjoys the fruit of his boxing fame with his wife, Bianca (Tessa Thompson), daughter Amara (Mila Davis-Kent), his mother Mary-Anne (Phylicia Rashad) and a successful boxing gym with Tony 'Little Duke' Burton (Wood Harris), while Dame resentments grows, reaching outrageous proportions.
Refusing to talk about his past traumatic childhood, it reminds us that no matter how much money you make or how many adoring fans you may have, it can not and does not erase the harm, it may cover it up but not go away.
CREED II is a good film. And even though it is a spin-off of the Rocky franchise, the succeeds in making a clean break in telling the story of Adonis
Something that stands out is the emotional aspects of the film. It is not just film about boxing, but the people and the relationships between them all. In addition, the soundtra
Director Micheal B. Jordan does a great job of explaining the story of Adonis and Dame. Cinematographer Kramer Morgenthau takes you right into the ring.
Writers Keenan Coogler, Zach Baylin and Ryan Coogler created dialogue and experiences that are credible. And with the editing by Keenan Coogler, Zach Baylin and Ryan Coogler enables the directing, camera and writing tell the story as it flows from scene to scene, choppy, flows from scene to scene)
Location: is it well chosen?) Taking place in Creed’s and Dame’s home town of Los Angeles in the Crenshaw and Leimert Park neighborhoods
Joseph Shirley music score and the music of Nipsey Hussle and others lets you know you are in a new era with a new generation that works with the scenes between Adonis and Dame.
With all a person has accomplished, facing the hard truths of ones unpleasant upbring and past relationships enable one to truly take pleasure in what all their hard work has accomplished.
: back to the thesis. Give guidance to the audience to see or not to see the movie.

Your Lucky Day is Daniel Brown’s epic feature film directorial debut and tells the story of a street level drug dealer named Sterling (Cloud ) who witnesses a wealthy older man win a $156 million USD lottery on Christmas Eve. With his eye set on achieving the “American Dream” and looking to take the jackpot for himself, Sterling holds the entire mini-mart hostage with a half-baked plan to steal the ticket and split up the prize pool. Adding to the film's quick plot turns and relentless pace is the dark and emotionally charged original score. Hutchinson, who channels the energy of this pressure-cooker situation in which every character is forced to examine their justifications for their actions, has delivered a soundtrack that seamlessly enhances the movie's narrative.
