INT. ADRIANCASADO.COM - WHATEVER TIME MIGHT BE
In the spotlight, matching a specific aesthetic, Adrian poses for his LinkedIn picture.
Surrounded by a perfectly circular light, (which will look familiar later in his work) ADRIAN (24) seems present, but his mind drifts from time to time.

Adrian proceeds to show off his work. A total of three short films that show a noticeable improvement in quality, but keeping Adrian’s touch and essence.
This “touch” can be vaguely described as experimental. Adrian’s obsession with the surrealism and fantastic aspect of the ordinary is recurrent throughout his work.
Influences from Charlie Kaufman and Alejandro G. Iñarritu are present in his films.
Tu Casa es Mi Casa (2023)
A Part of Me (2022)
Through My Eyes (2023)
INT. ADRIAN’S PHILOSOPHY - JUMBLED BUT ENCOURAGING
First and foremost, Adrian believes in the beauty of storytelling. Any story can be told. As an art form, is exciting to let the story shape itself, always knowing that you have the power to control and manipulate it.
Start from the end, cut it ten pages short, break the three act structure, and even write yourself in it! When seen as more than a blank piece of paper, the sheet gains dimensions and depth only limited by your imagination (and wether your partner burst in the room to ask: “Wanna go for a walk?” right when you were about to type the best dialogue ever written) :/

“As a kid, I would come up with weekly newspapers that covered fantasy-made up news, ranging from, lake monsters to volcanic rain weather forecasts. I would then print and deliver them to nearby neighbors.”
