The Great Debate
A SUPER 8 FILM BY LUNA HERRUZO
The story behind this production
Luna (film director) met Núria (cinematographer) during the pre-production of a short film of a mutual colleague, in Vienna.
The very first time they joined forces as a team was when they decided to cook a spanish omelette for dinner. Núria likes it with onions. Luna doesn't.
Of course, they had to do a short film about it.
The challenge
The goal with “The great debate” was to take part in the challenge of experimenting with the Super 8 format and the rules of the Straight 8 competition, which presented quite a different approach to the filmmaking process. The aim with this story is to present a space where we can experience the irony and silliness of two people trying to argue in an objective manner over a subjective topic, like how they prefer their Spanish omelette.
Synopsis
It's an uneventful Sunday in the lives of this family, and they are presented with the highly conflictual, ancient Spanish debate involving potatoes, eggs and... onions?
