On December 28th we attended to the premiere of the short movie "Indiana Jones and the search for the lost idol with an amazing success. The main projection room of the Yelmo movie theater (La Orotava, Tenerife) was crowded with almost 400 people who came from all around the island and also continental Spain. This short movie, created with a "near zero" budget becomes one of the best works of Fran Casanova, not only at a technical level but also for the final result. We are sure this movie will be a hit among the fan community. New premieres are being scheduled for Madrid and Barcelona. Stay tuned!. Shortly, we will publish the full short movie in several web sites in internet.

Para ello, tendrán acceso a los mejores recursos de la industria: escritores profesionales, elenco de actores, equipo e incluso quizás a algunas celebridades de Hollywood. Los televidentes serán los encargados de votar y decidir quién será eliminado.
