David Martín Porras finalist at the Goya Awards for Inside the Box

David Martín Porras, from Salamanca, has received a nomination for the academy awards for his short film “Inside the Box”. The work is produced by La Panda Productions (Pau Brunet) and Zentropa International Spain (David Matamoros Manteca), it was filmed in the United States and stars Wilson Bethel, Summer Glau and Regina King, recent Emmy winner for Best Supporting Actress for American Crime.

“Inside the Box” tells the story of Matt, a police officer from a Texas town who one day receives a visit from the district attorney, who wants to question him about an incident that has not been reported. Two nights earlier, Matt arrested a young man at the door of a nightclub, getting involved in a bloody fight that Matt did not report. Why is Matt hiding what happened?

The director from Salamanca will have to compete with “Cordelias” by Gracia Querejeta, El corredor by José Luis Montesinos, “El Trueno Rojo” by Álvaro Ron, and “Os Meninos do Río” by Javier Macipe.

The ceremony will be held on February 6th in Madrid, where Dani Rovira will present the gala again.

Salamanca Film Commission has always shown its support for the Salamanca-born filmmaker in his works through institutional and logistical support or processing of permits.
