Eduardo’s short film PASTRY is still enjoying a successful run in the international film festival circuit, found a worldwide film distributor, and Eurochannel has aired it all over the world – they acquired the rights for a non-exclusive deal, for 2 years, aired on pay cable TV, pay satellite and pay mobile television. PASTRY and Eduardo’s very first short - TWO BROTHERS - shot in 2014, are featured in the British Film Council Directory.  PASTRY has been Official Selection at thirty-five film festivals all over the world; and TWO BROTHERS got a generous note from Tessa Ross, former Head of Film at Channel 4 and considered by many ‘The Mother’ of the British Film Industry: “It’s a beautiful, distinctive piece of work and you tell your story in an intriguing and intimate way. I'm sure the team would be interested to see what you make next, and how your filmmaking develops as you explore a bigger world and continue to grow the contexts for your stories “
