Éramos pocos (One Too Many) has been nominated and awarded 70 prizes in 200 festivals worldwide. One of the most important awards it received was the Best Comedy at the Aspen Shortsfest.
Borja Cobeaga, Basque short film director, has travelled to the US in order to promote his work Éramos pocos (One Too Many). Next February 25 he will compete at the 79th Oscars Annual Academy Awards within the short films (live action) section.
The video is 15 minutes long. Borja Cobeaga wrote the script alongside Sergio Barrejón, and they tell the story of a father and a son. When the wife abandons the father, he decides to take his mother-in-law home from a residential home for the elderly with his son's help, so that she becomes the new cleaning woman. Actors Ramón Barea, Mariví Bilbao and Alejandro Tejería play the main roles.
Éramos pocos has been nominated and awarded 70 prizes in 200 festivals worldwide. One of the most important awards it received was the Best Comedy at the Aspen Shortsfest.
Cobeaga's work is included in the Kimuak 2006 catalogue that the Culture Department of the Basque Government annually boosts. The Culture councillor, Miren Azkarate, stated that it is not a coincidence that another short compiled in Kimuak was awarded two years ago, and now Cobeaga's.
Good luck to him!
