Understanding emotions in order to inspire them.
Before shooting a single frame, we try to understand what each character feels and what the person watching will feel. That is the psychology part. The rest is cinema.
One eye, three moments.
Psychology is not a department that reviews things at the end: it enters the script, walks with the characters and is present on set. When a project goes through all three moments, we say so with a seal.
- Script
So that what happens in the story could truly happen inside someone.
- Characters
Coherent people with motives, not plot devices.
- Shoot
Support on set when the scene calls for it.
The psychological review seal.
It identifies projects developed with psychological supervision across script, characters and shoot. Not all of them carry it: our earliest work predates bringing this perspective into the process, and that too tells the story of how we have evolved.
In development with a psychological eye: El crimen de Otis · La Resi · Un pajarito.
There are things we prefer not to explain.
We will not list our techniques or point at the scenes they live in. Part of this work only works if it cannot be seen. What we can show you is the result.
The department is led by Gemma Mantes, Head of Psychology.
