Miguel Coyula short film hits the web
We have written lots about Miguel Coyula‘s incredible debut feature RED COCKROACHES. He is now hard at work on a new feature (which we can’t wait to see). But meanwhile, he has released BAILAR SOBRE AGUJAS (DANCING ON NEEDLES) via YouTube. This is a short film Coyula directed while in film school in 1999. The YouTube doesn’t do it any favors, but it still offers a glimpse at the greatness that is to come complete with some of Coyula’s signature flourishes: creepy atmosphere, luscious visuals, expressionistic lighting and tortured characters. We’ll bring you news on Coyula’s new film as soon as we can get it, but in the check out BAILAR SOBRE AGUJAS.
