Filmmaker of the Week Alexander Vanegas Sus

Episode 6 of Filmmaker of the Week with Alexander Vanegas Sus:

After deciding to dedicate the rest of my life to filmmaking, I left my previous career in Italy behind and moved to the United Kingdom in 2016. Here, I began a degree in film studies at the University of Kent and In 2019, I graduated with first-class honours. The academic study of film helped me further my understanding of the medium as a whole. Thanks to this, I discovered a complete appreciation for all things film, from its history to filmmaking techniques, from market analysis to the comprehension of sales and distribution methods. My aim is to create new and exciting films that challenge our understanding of standard cinematic practices.

You can check out our review of his most recent short film Perpetual here. For a small snippet:

“The mood sets in straightaway here with a slow dolly push to a man clearly ruminating over so many aspects of life which has an instant connection to the audience. The claustrophobic camera angles leave us with his thoughts, forced to think through these heavy concepts alongside him.
The effective score from composer Christopher Schlechte-Bond has a seamless transition from scene to scene so well, as yet another compliment to everything else on-screen. This effect only heightened by the sound design from Giuseppe Pennetta.
You could pen a novel from all the large concepts Vanegas Sus brings up here. It is heavy but yet constantly ever so topical. With Daniel Hayde doing wonders to elevate the material, adding a believable yet menacing turn in his lead role.”
