Story
Amada Libertad tells the story of Salvadoran poet and freedom fighter Leyla Quintana who fought against the military dictatorship during the civil war in El Salvador in 1980. She processed her experiences in hundreds of poems, which were brought to the city thanks to an ingenious network of messengers from the war-torn areas.
Development since promotion to level I
We developed the animation styles: the figurative and the abstract animation, also the character design, style frames, first animation test and animatic for the teaser. We put together a teaser from the animatic, archive and documentary film. Work on the treatment, dramaturgy, the selection of poems and the first script were also part of the development phase.
