10 Commandments

 

10 Commandments is a self-produced project born out of an initiative between Clim and Marta Pale to challenge each other’s creative thinking separate from the daily grind of their commercial work.
The film illustrates the irony of how the “cursed” attitudes of modern society have transcended the archaic rhetoric of the Catholic church.
I just like to make stuff during my spare time. There’s something interesting in making Low-fi projects. It’s a way to don’t feel the pressure of the commercial work and to be focused on learning things from the process instead of being too concerned about the final result.
Thanks to Ferran Capo (art), Marta Folch (Photography), Aimar Molero (music) and Blai Barba (sound design).
