Imanol Ortiz López, director of the horror and fantastic drama short film “Alumbramiento”, has made it clear that this project will not be just a short film, but the beginning of a broader cinematographic universe. Ortiz, who is also a screenwriter and producer, has recently founded Orlok Films, his own production company, to work on various projects, including expanding “Alumbramiento” into a full-length film.
The short film itself tells the story of Paula, who suffers from a lobster phobia and experiences vengeful nightmares while protecting her baby in her womb from a faceless menace. Ortiz has promised a climactic staging that features recurring themes in his work, such as the recent history of the Basque Country, mental health, and internal and external monsters.
