Facundo was a rugby player for more than ten years. But one rainy afternoon in a field a violent high tackle made him lose consciousness. The stadium fell silent. When he woke up he was definitely not the same. He murmured absurd words like "establishing shot" or "character moral need". After that, he simply walked away from the fields, started shooting films and he never looked back.
