“RUTA” by Tomás Roldán

Official Beyond The Short Premiere

In a small quiet town, a group of friends arranges to meet up at the local gas station but for some strange reason, they can't find each other.

FROM THE DIRECTOR

“The inspiration for this short film came to me while doing a photo shoot at a gas station in Villa Elisa, a small city located in Entre Ríos, Argentina.  The lighting was so beautiful and I felt that there was a story there, a dark but colorful story. So this gas station ended up becoming our main set and where most of the story would take place.

I've been a fan of Dario Argento for a long time so I felt that his work on Suspiria would be the perfect reference to get the mood we were looking for, I just love how he used colored lights to elevate emotions in a scene. In the end, all we wanted to do is tell a story reminiscent of old 80s movies with a very marked b-horror style and explore how that could work.”
