Execution

It took two months to produce and 58 days shooting around the country. A team with a high quality equipment of sound, cameras and lighting, traveled through very difficult roads to get to film in 12 different locations.

The trip started north, followed the coast south and ended in Cuzco. An advance team prepared the field for the crew to arrive, shoot and leave.

It was Alva’s exhaustive work which enabled the ancestral characters to be accurately portrayed.

The clothes and accesories were thoroughly handmade. The make up imitated the original natural pigments, but improved for the requirements of the camera.
