About the project
PABLO is an intimate documentary project that seeks to offer a real, human perspective on disability, moving beyond pity and drawing strength from the value of friendship.
It began as a project between two university classmates. As it grew, more friends became involved, making it possible to complete filming. Post-production and distribution were funded through an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign and a grant from the Medellín Film Commission.

I worked with Jose on the documentary Pablo, and we made a good team. I look forward to working with him again on sound for new projects, and I recommend him for other areas where connections can be made.
