Mariana Gesto holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of the Republic and is currently a senior in the Audiovisual Production Technician program at ORT.
Each educational institution was allowed to submit up to three screenplay proposals for a short film in the fantasy genre or a related genre. On October 26, 2023, the selection of three projects in total was announced, submitted by Universidad ORT Uruguay, the Uruguayan Film School (ECU), and UTU-LATU.
In the first phase, we will work with the directors of each of the selected screenplays, addressing the pre-production of the short film through online mentoring sessions with a guest director to develop the shooting schedule. Subsequently, a 10-day in-person workshop will be held, in which teams composed of students from the same educational institution will also participate. As a result of the workshop, one participant will be selected to travel to BIFFF 2024 in Brussels, Belgium.
