Thronebosis
It is May 6th, 2023, the day of the Coronation of King Charles III in London, and a young man calls Emergency Medical Services claiming the whole thing is making him feel unwell. “Thronebosis” imagines this scenario, making use of manipulated news footage of the day's events mixed with animation to illustrate the man's concerns in a punk-infused poetic form.
DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY - Marco Espirito Santo
Hello! I am a writer/director making films for both branded and entertainment purposes, and co-founder of creative studio La Push. I was born in London, but am currently living back in my hometown, Lisbon. I won the Sarah Willis Poetry Prize at the age of 19 in New York, attended the London Film School, and was selected for Berlinale Talents. My short films have been shown and awarded at festivals like Clermont-Ferrand, Tampere, London Short FF, and International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), and recognised by MTV, NOWNESS, Stab Magazine, BoooooooomTV! and Vimeo Staff Picks. Alongside these I have created original content for brands like Rizla, Fred Perry, Lisbon Fashion Week, and Vodafone. I like epic clouds, dogs, and driving to loud music.
