Paul de Lumen '08: UCLA Filmmaker at Sundance 2010 - PART 2

Paul de Lumen '08, cinematographer of "Southern District (Zona Sur) talks about this film being the greatest challenge of his career, shooting each scene in a 360-degree pan shot while avoiding lights, the cameras reflection or that of a member of the technical crew. Making its North American Premiere, the film is set in La Paz, Bolivia, in a villa surrounded by beautiful gardens, where an upper-class family experiences their final halcyon days of luxury as social change penetrates their bubble. In Park City, the film is screening in the World Cinema Narrative Competition category of the festival. Paul was awarded the Colon de Plata for Best Cinematography at the 35th Huelva Latin-American Film Festival in Spain. The film also screened at the Tokyo International Film Festival and is bound for Berlin in February, 2010.
