RAÚL CEREZO & FERNANDO GONZÁLEZ GÓMEZ

​

Fernando González Gómez and Raúl Cerezo known as THE FEREZOS are two well-known directors in the world of short films who, after several successes, decided to join forces to undertake “La passenger”, their first feature film together.  The result was so convincing that they have already closed the world premiere in Montreal of the second: “The Elderly”.  The cinema of Cerezo and González Gómez seeks its own voice that does not give up being inspired by its particular fetishes, such as the catalog of the production companies A-24 and Blumhouse or the work of directors Kubrick, Polanski, Spielberg, Cronenberg, Paul Thomas Anderson, Brian de Palma, M. Night Shyamalan, Carpenter, Berlanga, Buñuel, Saura, Tarantino... always trying to beat the references to get personal films.
