About Us

Sincerely, Dracula is a university short film from the Audiovisual Communication degree at the Universitat Politècnica de València. The short film is the result of the 3rd year cross-disciplinary project, in which several subjects are grouped together to produce a large-scale project. The production team of the short film is made up of 32 students.

The idea

My idea came from an activity for the university that consisted of creating a monologue in which a well-known character from cinema or literature would explain how he or she is considered in a clichéd way and then reveal an unknown identity. I opted for a comic approach with anti-climax humour, choosing Dracula as the central figure. In the script, Dracula is shown as someone with quirks who desires a quiet life. The stereotypes about him are progressively deconstructed, humanising him, until a final twist where he regains his status and is reminded that he is still dangerous if provoked.

Fernando Suárez

With a passion cultivated from an early age, this actor took his first steps in corporal expression at the age of 14. After graduating as a lawyer in Buenos Aires in 2011 and practicing for two years, he decided to turn his life around by moving to Grenoble, France, where he learned gestural and physical theatre at Stéphane Müh's Actor's School. There he perfected techniques such as Neutral Mask, Gestural Clown, Jester and Character Creation.

He has been an actor in renowned companies such as Cie. de L'élan-Théâtre and Collectif Jeudi 15 in Grenoble, participating in plays such as ‘En attendant Stendhal’ and ‘Pour un Empire’. As a creator, writer and actor, his one-man show ‘[H]Ombre’, directed by Sergi Llácer, and his co-direction of ‘Y a ti... ¿te cuelga el pavo?’ stand out. In addition, his experience in photography, audiovisual creation and playwriting reinforces his multidisciplinary and versatile profile.
