Critically acclaimed filmmaker Pablo Proenza has been receiving rave reviews for his work ever since his break-out film - a 33-minute, 16mm short titled ViDi - was screened at festivals around the world. A passionate cinephile from an early age, Pablo was given his first camera at the age of eight. Since then, he has been working in all aspects of film production: writing, directing, producing, shooting and editing. The son of Cuban-American immigrants (an economist for the United Nations and a gifted ceramicist), Pablo had an international upbringing (Washington, D.C.; San Jose, Costa Rica; Rome, Italy; Miami, Fl). During this time, Pablo was educated in two different school systems (British and American) and grew up fully trilingual (English, Spanish, Italian). These wide-ranging experiences have had an enormous influence on all of Pablo's work, including his highly acclaimed thesis film, Vidi, a futuristic love story chronicling a long-distance videophone relationship. Pablo's most recent film is the feature length supernatural thriller, Dark Mirror (2008), which he wrote and directed.
The housewife and aspirant photographer Deborah Martin is strangely attracted to a house and convinces her husband Jim to buy it. They move from Seattle with their son Ian and Deborah takes a photo of a mirror in the bathroom. She soon discovers that her neighbor is snooping on her family and a stranger is stalking her. She researches the house history and finds that it belonged to a painter who might have killed his wife.
