DN LFF2010: Maria and I - Felix Fernandez de Castrox

Director F�lix Fern�ndez de Castro was inspired by the comic Miguel Gallardo realised, also titled Maria and I, to take the leap in to making his first feature. Flickering in and out of animation and sharing some very intimate interviews from both May and Miguel, we learn about Maria and the difficulty she faces in everyday life. _Maria and I_ is a remarkably honest film that you rarely come across today, so I jumped at the opportunity to speak to F�lix about the production.
