A user enters the virtual reality platform “VRChat”, a space that allows socialization through avatars. With a bird avatar, he travels through diverse and beautiful landscapes, from a Buddhist temple in the mountains to the ruins of a post-apocalyptic hotel. In each world, he meets a different user with whom he will have quiet conversations, gradually revealing some of the conflicts that younger generations go through, such as uncertainty about the future and doubts about the purpose of their lives.

The Phantom Touch was directed by Pablo Cuturrufo and produced by Francisco Alvarez de la Rivera. The shortfilm won various awards like Best New Shortfilm at Fidocs 2022 and a special jury mention at the Santiago International Cinema Festival (Sanfic).

It made its international debut at the Clermont-Ferrand Shortfilm Festival in 2023.

I worked with producer Cristóbal Guzmán to make the soundtrack for this shortfilm.
