Director’s Profile
Hamilton Monar was born in Guaranda, Ecuador, on September 25th pf 1992. At
his young age he started painting, developing a very personal esthetic proposal.
After a few years he discovered the ability of making plasticine dolls and puppets,
so he continued, and every time, got better in this area. Nowadays Hamilton is
exploring the cinematographic spaces such as animation, documental and fiction,
and he unifies them to make up his idea.

Intention letter
Since I was a kid, everything I watched as references were foreign, I felt so distant
with the artificial cinema, away from my reality, so I had the necessity of creating
my own references by making my own language. “Nobody is free from the
influences because they are everywhere” it said at the beginning of a book I read
and it captivated me, written by Jorge Zapata, Ecuadorian painter who helped me
to have a clear vision of the atmosphere about the esthetic I’m going to make.
Reading Zapata’s work, I was shocked, because it was like it was meant to be, I
was supposed to meet this artist in this documental stage. The Zapata’s painting is
like a dark trance, and I love how grotesque this images are, like between bohemia
and the dark side inside his work. He is a painter that says he is painting because
he feels orphan and not from their parents. He is a painter that has captivated me
and that is why I am so inspired by him, and inspires my esthetic ideas, so I am
going to work through sensations, I mean I’m going to split this documental where I
can write which sensation I want to show and with what elements I want to do it.
