The town of Valga becomes the main setting for the first feature film directed by Tito Refoxo and written by Brais do Rei, along with Sergio Mesía and Julián Rodríguez Novo. The film, titled "Método", is a psychological thriller exploring human weaknesses, vices, and the consequences of decisions made during a night of excess among friends, drawing the characters into a universe of tension, secrets, and conflicts.
The cast includes renowned figures from Galician and national acting scenes, such as Miguel de Lira, known for his role in "Mareas Vivas", and Chechu Salgado, a Goya Award winner for Best New Actor. Also participating are Andrea Vilariño, awarded at the Cans festival; Denis Gómez ("Neboa", "Fariña"); Susana Sampedro ("Matalobos", "Clanes"); Felipe Pariente, Kevin Steward, Paloma Steward, Martina Bravo, Sergio Mesía, and Fran Paz, bringing their experience in theater, dubbing, and independent productions.
This project follows the success of the short film "Nai", by Refoxo and do Rei, which received a nomination for the Mestre Mateo Awards and participated in over 30 international festivals, winning ten awards. "It was a surprise, but it motivated us to continue with new projects and we decided to make the leap to our first feature film", state the creators, who aim to maintain their team and work in their local environment.
Filming will take place between November 17th and 28th in Valga, with the collaboration of the Municipal Theater School, which will provide extras. The creators have high expectations, although they are aware of the current competition in the audiovisual market. They aspire to premiere "Método" at festivals and in the "maximum possible cinema venues", hoping this success will lead to larger projects.
Brais do Rei and Tito Refoxo thus return to the Municipal Auditorium, the place where they took their first artistic steps. Both trained at Valga's Municipal Music School, and while Brais continued in music, Tito pursued acting, accumulating five years of experience with roles in "Clanes" and "Rapa".
