The Myth of Man

Synopsis

The Myth of Man is the metaphysical chronicle of Xavier Lopez, an aspiring writer who comes across an obscure BOOK written by an anonymous Mexican writer. The BOOK contains a man's haunting memoirs and his disturbing artistic collage of his quest to find spirituality. Xavier becomes obsessed with finding the author. As Xavier begins his research and investigation, he starts having premonitions and lucid dreams until he comes face to face with a haunting self-realization.

This is the Synopsis for my first feature film " The Myth of Man " . Which will be shot in 35mm. A little back story. For the last 2 years I have been trying to bring investment money to produce this feature film. At the present date I have the lead actor casted for the role of Xavier Lopez which will be played by actor Jose Galaviz. A while back we did some test photography with a still 35mm camera. Even thou the film will be shot in color I wanted to shot the stills in black & white and experiment with Sepia.




I also wanted to share the first full illustration storyboard which was done by Artist Alberto Gonzalez and screenplay page.

I've been acting professionally for over 10 years and for the last 5 years I have devoted all my energy to the art & craft of cinema. I've paid my dues in full. Started in the film industry as a PA and moved up into Gripping. My focus is in Directing/Screenwriting/Editing . Hustling for any job that comes my way. Regardless of the budget. Make my living mostly from my Gripping, DVD Authoring and Graphic Design work.

The purpose of these memoirs is to have an insightful reflection of my experiences as a independent filmmaker. One of my goals is to have behind the scene featurettes of my process as an artist and the struggles of producing my own personal work, including: feature films, short films, music videos and documentaries.

Currently working on the 3rd draft for my first feature film " The Myth of Man " you can download the first 20 pages on my official website El Gato Negro Films . It's been over 2 years since I first started working on the screenplay and building resources for bring investments for the film. Full update coming soon.
