Plot
Alex (Sam Huntington) is a conflicted animation filmmaker living in Brooklyn. His “Dancing Tomatoes” animation video went viral two years ago and since then Alex has been trying to prove to the world that he can do more than “funny videos, and dancing things”. When he’s pressured by his friend Josh to sign a contract with a yogurt brand to develop the “dancing fruits show” and plunge deeper into artistic superficiality, Alex, instead, buys a ticket to Argentina. The plan is to meet with Sofia (Andrea Carballo), a girl that he started an online relationship with after she left a nasty comment about his work, who he has never seen in person. Alex’s hope to find love and substance will be confronted after finding Sofía living on an island in the outskirts of Buenos Aires with her intimidating artist boyfriend Víctor (Rafael Spregelburd) and his assistant Flor (Sofía Brihet). Alex will be forced to be a fish out of the water and try to capture Sofía’s interest or come back to his old life and sign the contract.
Production
Finding Sofia is the first feature film produced and financed by 1stAveMachine, a company that so far focused on video, digital and experimental content. It's also Casavecchia's debut in the big screen, though he's an awarded animated shorts filmmaker. The film was written inspired by the dilemma of being a filmmaker in a world already saturated with images. The movie portrays several pieces of Alex's animation (made by Casavecchia himself) and Victor's paintings (made for the film by Argentine painter, Juan José Cambre). It was filmed on an island in El Tigre, a region in the outskirts north of Buenos Aires crossed by rivers.
