AE - AUTO EXPOSURE a 6' promo w/english subtitles

aka Warm Cold Blooded (A Quente A Frio!).
My first long lens feature, a Thriller, 80', shot in Rio, in 2010/211, with RED camera. Original title: DISPAROS.
The story of a photographer involved in a situation of common violence, in which he doesn't know whether he is victim, witness or accomplice. A hot-blooded plot.
SINOPSYS
At the end of a shooting assignment, Henrique is mugged by two armed motor-bikers who steal his camera and speed off. Five seconds later, he watches both get hit by a pickup truck driven by a self-appointed avenger, someone weary of feeling defenseless against the urban violence, and who decided to take action. Henrique recovers his stolen equipment and leaves, feeling avenged. But he goes back to find the memory card, with the photos, lost during the crash. From that moment, he is trapped in a situation where he is now the criminal for failing to rescue a victim, who had been his aggressor. This will take him from the murder scene to the police station, and then to the emergency ward of the public hospital, in an attempt to clear himself.
Intentions
The film attempts to focus on a moment in the life of someone trapped within a disintegrating social scene. During Henrique's trajectory, all Brazilian social behavior can be reviewed, comparing levels of urban violence and barbarism, and when a character call Capitão Nascimento, from the movie Elite Squad, is considered a national hero.
Narrative device
Bewilderment is the driving force of this plot that follows Henrique, impartially, testifying his conflicts and all nuances of his personality confronting a situation with no other alternative: killed or killer. With this in mind, peripherals plot will appear bringing secondary characters, composing a narrative mosaic and brewing the actions that will, progressively, echo over the main plot.
