A young man's job consists of removing the inhabitants of the town to make way for a new  gold mine. When he meets them, he’ll realize that it will not be easy.

 

Mission Statement

Pirú is a fresh, cheerful, emotional, and entertaining story. Its objective is to bring a message of reflection and humanity through entertainment. A message of reflection and humanity in the face of a social conflict in Peru. Furthermore, it is a family film with a universal message. Our main themes within the film are: 

  • Home.
  • Union.
  • Seeking the reduction of social gaps.
  • Empowerment of each human being in the face of any reality.
  • Environmental care.

There are stories that leave a mark on the heart, and Pirú is one of them.

 

 

 The Story

Alí is a young city guy who’s traveling through the Andes, in his old Volkswagen, for work. Close to his destination, his car loses control and crashes into the house of a grumpy elderly woman, Herme, in the town of Quri Suncu. While she initially rejects him, their shakes relationship slowly evolves into a friendship, especially with Herme’s child. The problem arises when Alí gets offered a new project: convince the people of that same town to sell their lands to build a new gold mine.

 

 

About the project

We are siblings from Peru, Bismarck (Director) and Sara Rojas (Producer), founders of Veintiuno Films, as well as the scriptwriters of this film. Pirú was written in our room in 2015, and it took us 6 years of consecutive attempts to get the economic boost we needed to be able to finance a large percentage of the shooting. Our perseverance and above all our confidence in our project made it so that in 2021 we were one of the winners of a fund from the Ministry of Culture of Peru... and well, we've been getting to work ever since! 

 

Pirú contains elements that marked our childhood, such as the Volkswagen and the beautiful countryside landscapes. This rich story was filmed in the Peruvian highlands during the pandemic, in the months of August and September 2022. We have a quality technical team and professional Peruvian actors, such as Emanuel Soriano, Andrés Salas and Pedro Olortegui. Likewise, we decided to offer new opportunities to people without acting training, which has been one of the best decisions that we made, since the result and the experience for both them and us have been enriching and beautiful. Like good stories, not everything was rosy, and in the middle of filming, accessories were stolen from our cameras. Despite the bad moment, we looked for immediate solutions, and together with the support of our entire team, the shoot was carried out with the accessories we had on hand. In addition, when filming in the mountains, the weather varied constantly, and days of intense rain affected the established schedule. But our goal was kept alive: finish Pirú. 

All these experiences have made Pirú an adventure that we will always carry in our hearts and remember with great affection.

 

 

What do we need?

We are currently working hard on the Post Production and Distribution, and we need allies to successfully complete this final part of the journey to bring Pirú to the screens. The ways in which your donation will contribute to the success of Pirú are detailed below.

 

We need $ 20,000

40% DISTRIBUTION & MARKETING :

Pirú deserves to be seen in different parts of the world, because we have put heart, perseverance and professionalism into it. In order to captivate the audience, we need to generate high-impact physical and digital campaigns. In addition, we need to send physical copies of the film on DCP or DVD and via streaming.

20% EDITING AND SPECIAL EFFECTS:

Video editing, colorization, sound editing and special effects.

20% MUSIC AND OTHERS LICENSES:

All our favorite movies include songs and audiovisual extracts from other authors that transport us to moments that go beyond history. For Pirú, we have chosen soundtracks and extracts for the film that we are sure will accompany you on your next adventures, which require financing for both the artists and their record companies.

12% FESTIVAL FEES:

Festivals are a window of opportunity to show our skills as independent filmmakers like us. As soon as the film is finished, we hope to participate in the film festivals that take place in different parts of the world, and for this, we need to cover different costs such as registration, food, travel, etc.

8% THEFT:

As we mentioned, we suffered the theft of camera accessories during the recording. With your help, we seek to cover a little of the debt we have.

 

Why us?

Since Veintiuno Films was founded 12 years ago, it was always clear to us that we wanted to make audiovisual proposals with messages of positive impact on humanity. After many years of perseverance and experience, we are achieving our first big project: A FILM

We seek to give a new vision to Peruvian cinema, betting on entertainment with an important message.
