Goddard and Truffaut films were the first films to show me that editing didn't necessarily had to be this tidy thing that dictates what it's audiences should think of it all. I like films that take you on a personal journey by the way one relates to what is seen on screen - therefore they need a bit of space and a lot of timing.
Gondry and Cunningham, cutting edge contemporary directors made me see the possibilities of film as a game, as a creative playground to bounce ideas back and forward which although a lot of the time aesthetic and smart are just a stroke of pure genius.
But, I like best those that make me laugh and cry, the millions of documentary and comedy (or both combined) that make people in the world today a little bit more interesting by showing them what the world is all about and how we can laugh at it, or do something about it.

Hi! My name is Marta Velasquez and I'm the Director of Fimdependence Ltd.
Filmdependence is what you get when you rely on video images to put across a message to your viewers, and in a world that is dominated by the media, people and companies need an outlet such as Filmdependence to show them the way forward!
I personally have found that without Filmdependence my life would be rather dull, so I dedicate myself to improve the company and work with talented people to grow quickly and encompass all areas for a complete video making service.
We presently work with MIX making videos to raise awareness for worthwhile causes, such as poverty around the world, aids orphans in Swaziland and deprived children in Romania. We also have close links with Birds Eye View Film Festival and make promos of their events. I interview the filmmakers and celebrities that show up, help and direct the camera people, edit & author and duplicate the final DVD's... As you see, I am a machine!
We also work with various independent filmmakers, doing their showreels, cutting trailers, documentaries, compositing, grading.... everything! Coming up with ideas, making waves and forming close relationships for a happy and prosperous future, in the film industry!
“Tant que tu respires” le dernier film de Fara Sene sélectionné en compétition au 27ème festival d’Alès a reçu les prix suivants: - mention spéciale du jury - prix Sacem pour la musique originale du compositeur Frédéric Petit.
…Parmi les treize films en compétition, celui qui les a sans doute le plus touchés est “Tant que tu respires” de Fara Sene, qui a obtenu deux prix : la Mention spéciale du jury et le Prix de la musique originale, qui revient au compositeur Frédéric Petit. Ce film porte un regard à fois lucide et tendre sur les rapports que l’on essaie de créer, sur la différence et la nécessité d’aimer dans une société si peu aimable parfois… ( texte de Nicole Robert)
