MORENO FUENTES  Has won 4 GRAND PRIX IN A ROW AT MIAMI FILM CRITIC AWARD, FLORIDA
WINNER FOR BEST SCREENWRITER 2023' at REDWOOD FILM FESTIVAL, Mountain View, California!! ¡Gracias América!

Unexpected "Amanda's" New Award from the U.S for Best Screenwriting! Thanks Mountain View, California!!

The jurors (I don't know), might have gone for the weight of AMANDA' storytelling this time around. Excited and happy with the news!! That's pretty much me: I need to "visualize" first in some extent what I'm going to shoot before I do, although I'm also flexible and I think know how to incorporate improvisations from the actors, if they work, match and suit the story properly.

 I enjoy a lot directing actors as an actor, too: I even get more excited than them if I watch them especially enjoying!! That's mainly an accolade to my written story (quite"Wild", "Noir", "Gothic", "Surreal , "Mistery Thriller" one, "Questioning everything" with a very particular atmosphere and -not on purpose- quite a bit eccentric,  some quirk characters...). This has been my 6th Award in the U.S.!!! Thank you America!!  Here's some of the film Awards at  IMDB. Some words for thanksgiving in Spanish and I'll turn into English afterwards...

SP/ESP: Contento especialmente con este premio a la escritura de los personajes y a la trama ¡Mi guión, mis subtítulos (una de las cosas más difíciles y latosas de todas)! : que tuve que poner "y encajar" uno a uno (un trabajo de chinos), porque los actores y su inglés, en fin: Mejor "Hush, hush!" jajajajjaajja. Este es uno de los premios de los que más orgulloso estoy, junto con EL LUIS BUÑUEL ANUAL A LA MEJOR DIRECCIÓN, porque incluye la palabra escritor. Algo que no he dejado ni dejaré nunca de ser, pese a algunas obtusillas mentes ibéricas (esa actriz lela, semidesconocida, no sé si mala, mediocre ó ambas cosas,  "deep analfa", que me preguntó totalmente en serio: "-¿Pero tú eres actor, director o escritor? ¡Porque las tres cosas, no sé!". Este es un mundo en el que te conviene callar mucho: cuanto más mejor (y es totalmente aconsejable con gente con escasas lucas "o las justas"). Lo hacen los británicos bastante: No niego que haya giles también allí ¡Pero tienden a morderse un poco más le lengua! (¡La educación!): Todavía les da un poco de apuro (si superan los veinte) que les pillen metiendo la pata y soltando tonteróas (¡Es maravillloso! ¡Tienen un sentido de la auto-contención envidiable!). En cuanto a los norteamericanos, también es fabuloso algo en ellos: que casi no conozcan la envidia (¡Lo disimulan! ¡No cómo aquí, donde una multitud silenciosa ni siquiera se corta o siente apuro, ante un defecto tan bereber, tan norteafricano degradado, tan poco homologable al mundo Occidental al que pertencemos...-o pertence una minoría que me gustaría que fuera más numerosa-). Einstein (que recorrió el mundo y fue el origen (la primera gran estrella global del Star System tal y como se conoce hoy -era recibido por Jefes de Estado-), en su primera visita a Estados Unidos, dejó escrito: "-Dicen que son como adolescentes ¡No importa!: Son los seres más puros, más libres, más simpáticos, más deliciosamente espontáneos y transparentes que me he encontrado jamás!"
