“Tales From The Rabbit Hole: A Curious Kitsch Novel” by Sofia Mirpuri and Tiago Durão debuts today in Portugal

The film tells the story of Alice Maia, who decides to leave Portugal and go to New York, hoping to find a better life, however, New York proves to be a chaotic city, full of strangers and where there seems to be no hope.

The story that would serve as the basis for this film was written in 2014, in Portugal, by Tiago Durão, André Tavares and António Rodrigues, with ideas for different formats that never came to fruition.

Tiago Durão and Sofia Mirpuri assumed all roles and responsibilities for the production of the film, which lasted about a year and a half to be made, and involved about 18 thousand dollars (16 thousand euros).

Between script writing, production, wardrobe, recordings, directing, editing, post-editing and also communication and marketing, they realized that doing the work of 30 people is a work.

In addition to Sofia Mirpuri, the film also features Zeca Medeiros, Naomi Livingstone, Andrea Ferro Madrid, Troy Tripicchio, and Madalena Mantua, among others.

After its premiere in New York, the film, shot mainly in that city, but also in Portugal, was shown at several film festivals, having been awarded the Best Film prize at the Roma Prisma Independent Film Awards, at the Miami Independent Film Festival and at the Kalajoki Film Festival.
