Video Interview: @ThisFunktional talks with DECORADO’s Writer-Director talks about the animated film’s themes and style

Jesus Figueroa, @Thisfunktional of ThisFunktional.com, talks with writer-director Alberto Vazquez about animated feature DECORADO, in theaters May 15. Something is wrong in the city of Anywhere. Arnold, an unemployed middle-aged mouse, confides to his wife Maria that he suspects his entire world is nothing more than a set, and his life a scripted performance. When his best friend Ramiro dies under mysterious circumstances, he traces the conspiracy to a monolithic corporation whose influence reaches every corner of their daily lives. Adapted from the acclaimed 2016 short film by director Alberto Vázquez (Birdboy: The Forgotten Children, Unicorn Wars), Decorado blends biting humor with haunting beauty in a darkly comedic odyssey through our era of social control, manufactured realities, and the quest for authentic human connection. An animated film director, illustrator and comic artist born in A Coruña, Spain, his books have been published in numerous countries and his illustrations have appeared in magazines and newspapers around the world. He's written and directed animated shorts such as Birdboy, Sangre de unicornio, Decorado and Homeless Home, and feature films such as Psiconautas, los niños olvidados, Unicorn Wars and, most recently, Decorado. His work has won five Goya Awards and more than 100 international prizes at festivals such as Annecy and Stuttgart. Director: Alberto Vázquez Writers: Alberto Vázquez and F.
