The film “A Testemunha” (The Witness) was the result of the 1st Meu Primeiro Filme PRO Film Workshop (Batatais – 2021), taught by Rogério Takashi, assisted by Bel Muniz, and supervised by José Adalto Cardoso. All students in this workshop are former participants of the basic editions of the Meu Primeiro Filme workshop and, for the first time, had an in-depth study of cinematographic technique, raising the level of the class. The outcome of all this is the medium-length film “The Witness”, a remake of one of the episodes written by R. F. Lucchetti for the series “Além, Muito Além do Além” (Beyond, Far Beyond the Beyond) (1968), aired on TV Bandeirantes. At the time, the series was hosted by Zé do Caixão; in this remake, the host is his daughter, Liz Marins, with her character Liz Vamp.
