Abycine, REC Tarragona
Did that help to get the film off the ground?
Ainhoa RodrÃguez: Yes, it gave it the all-important final push.

At Gijón, we also picked up a technical award, which helped us with the process, and we got something similar at REC, which meant we could send it to other festivals.
